Ultra-precise technology can count damaged DNA fragments

The Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science has developed an ultrasensitive immunoassay-based analytical platform that can detect and quantify trace amounts of "Small Excised Damaged DNA (sedDNA)" fragments generated ...

Dogs and humans are more alike than we thought, study finds

The same biological signals that help predict lifespan in humans also appear in dogs, according to new research from the Dog Aging Project—a finding that could help scientists better understand aging in both species.

Common cancer protein may be therapeutic target, study finds

A protein doctors routinely use to measure how aggressively tumors are growing may also help prevent the chromosome errors that drive cancer, new research by academics at Brunel University of London suggests.
