Scientists have found that twisting structures in DNA long mistaken for knots are actually something else entirely. Inside cells, DNA gets twisted, copied, and pulled apart. The twists can influence ...

Inside every human cell, tiny mitochondria quietly convert nutrients into usable energy, keeping organs running and immune defenses primed. Now researchers have identified a previously unknown form of ...

Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic ...

RIVERSIDE, Calif. -- 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 ...
