In a quiet lab at Utrecht University, researchers have built a tool that lets you watch one of life’s most serious crises ...

In human cells, there are about 20,000 genes on a two-meter DNA strand—finely coiled up in a nucleus about 10 micrometers in diameter. By comparison, this corresponds to a 40-kilometer thread packed ...

A previously unknown type of DNA damage in the mitochondria, the tiny power plants inside our cells, could shed light on how ...

Scientists have created a live-cell DNA sensor that reveals how damage appears and disappears inside living cells, capturing ...

The findings may have important implications for diseases linked to mitochondrial dysfunction. A newly identified form of DNA damage inside mitochondria, the small structures that supply energy to our ...

A new AI model called popEVE can predict how likely each variant in a patient’s genome is to cause disease. The team is ...

Mitochondria are well known as the powerhouses of the cell because of their energy generating capabilities. These little ...

Stem cells sent to the ISS return with signs of accelerated aging, revealing key risks for future space travel.

This may be about as wildly entertaining, disruptive and philosophically profound as legitimate scientific research gets. Michael Levin's work in cellular intelligence, bioelectrical communication and ...
