As we age, our bodies undergo a complex series of biological changes, many of which contribute to the gradual decline in cellular function. These changes include a decrease in the body's ability to ...

Scientists discovered that DNA mutations influence aging by altering epigenetic changes and biological clocks.

Stanford Medicine researchers sifted through thousands of single nucleotide mutations in DNA to identify fewer than 400 that are functionally associated with inherited cancer risk.

However, the mechanistic connections between mismatch DNA repair and selective neuronal vulnerability in Huntington's disease remained unknown. The new study from UCLA Health and Jane and Terry Semel ...
