Every time a cell divides, it must copy its DNA with extraordinary precision. But this process is constantly challenged by ...
Every cell in the human body squeezes over six feet of DNA into a miniscule speck invisible to the naked eye—like compressing a whole house into a single sugar cube. In order to fit in a cell and ...
The human genome consists of 3 billion base pairs, and when a cell divides, it takes about seven hours to complete making a copy of its DNA. That's almost 120,000 base pairs per second. At that ...

Tiny synthetic DNA molecules called aptamers can selectively attach to 'zombie cells' — opening a new path to slow aging
Senescent cells refuse to die. They stop dividing, resist the body’s normal cleanup signals, and leak a cocktail of ...

Mayo Clinic scientists discovered tiny DNA molecules that hunt down 'zombie cells' inside aging bodies — and selectively destroy them
In 2011, a team at Mayo Clinic did something no one had managed before: they built a tiny DNA construct, threaded it into the ...
Scientists have uncovered a surprising new trick used by one of cancer’s most notorious proteins. MYC, already infamous for ...
A protein best known for driving cancer growth also helps damaged tumor cells survive by repairing their DNA, according to a ...
A subtle failure during cell division can set off dramatically different outcomes, according to new research exploring whole ...
Different types of cell division failure shape whether duplicated cells survive, remain stable, or lead to cancer.
DNA damage from inflammation outpaces the cells’ ability to self-repair. The finding, in human brain cells and mice, could ...
