Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun is a well-known cause of DNA damage, which can lead to diseases like skin cancer. But how do our cells repair this damage to protect us? Researchers from ...

NASA proposes to pioneer a radically new approach to mitigating radiation-induced cell damage in astronauts by transplanting new undamaged mitochondria (critical radiation-sensitive cell organelles) ...

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is known to cause DNA damage, and while that damage may accumulate and eventually lead to diseases like skin cancer, cells also have repair mechanisms that can fix ...

Scientists at Children's Medical Research Institute (CMRI) have solved a big mystery in cancer research – why cells die in different ways following radiotherapy. This surprising finding opens up new ...

Organic solar cells made with small molecules didn't seem to have any trouble with protons—they showed no damage after three years worth of radiation. In contrast, those made with polymers—more ...

The APOE2 gene variant protects against Alzheimer's by enhancing DNA repair and preventing neuronal senescence.
