Sperm DNA damage is a marker of outcome for both spontaneous pregnancy and assisted reproduction techniques, and as such is an important clinical parameter for men undergoing fertility evaluation.
The researchers used preclinical models to explore the impact of stress on aging. They observed that social stress activates neurons in the hippocampus and cortex, showing signs of senescence and DNA ...
While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells' in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research shows. This means ...
Most dividing cells in the body have well-defined checkpoint mechanisms to sense and correct DNA damage during DNA replication. Neurons, however, do not divide. For this reason, they are at ...
