A drug originally developed for spinal cord injury may offer a fresh approach to treating Alzheimer’s disease. In mouse ...

A drug already safe for humans reduces disease-linked early features of Alzheimer’s in a lab model of the disease, say ...

A drug that has passed phase 1 trials for spinal injuries in people repaired DNA breaks and reduced inflammation in mouse ...

A team of researchers has unveiled a new mathematical model suggesting humans could theoretically live up to 156 years.

Newborn mice neurons can snap both DNA strands to migrate, then repair the breaks within a day. The process may be a normal part of brain development.

Cancer research, drug safety testing and aging biology may all gain a major boost from a new fluorescent sensor developed at Utrecht University. This new tool allows scientists to watch DNA damage and ...

Similar to the way DNA damage can contribute to human diseases such as cancer, it can also disrupt growth, development and survival in plants. Every day, plants endure environmental stresses such as ...

Researchers have uncovered answers that provide the detail to explain two specific DNA repair processes that have long been in question. Researchers from the University of Birmingham have uncovered ...

A previously unknown type of DNA damage in the mitochondria, the tiny power plants inside our cells, could shed light on how our bodies sense and respond to stress. The findings of the UC ...
