The DNA of human cells consists of a sequence of about 3.1 billion building blocks. Cells go to great lengths to maintain the ...

Some of these cancerous mutations in DNA are inherited, while others arise from errors that occur as a cell divides.

Cells use many complex genetic repair backup systems to fix DNA damage and remain healthy throughout their lives.

Most cells in the human body each contain about six feet of DNA. Yet the nucleus, where DNA is coiled, is no larger than a ...

New research challenges the view that proteins are the only key to evolution, highlighting the importance of lipids.

The incidence of Human Papillomavirus (HPV)–associated oropharyngeal cancers—tumors of the back of the mouth and throat—is ...

Scientists are looking for answers about how these confounding trips, known as metastases, occur throughout the human body ...

This work has enabled them to pinpoint potential new targets for cancer therapy. The DNA of human cells consists of a sequence of about 3.1 billion building blocks. Cells go to great lengths to ...

Each time a cell divides, the DNA, which contains the genetic codes in the cells, must be replicated. This process occurs constantly within the human body throughout life. "This cell division ...

The researchers analyzed changes to gene expression in ecDNA formed by HPV and human DNA hybridization in oropharyngeal tumor ...
