In mice exposed to chronic social stress, the researchers found elevated levels of DNA damage markers. This damage likely triggers the cellular machinery responsible for activation of a senescence ...

Most people associate sunburns with DNA damage -- it's what we've been taught in textbooks and by dermatologists for years.

In a groundbreaking shift in our understanding of mutations, researchers have discovered types of DNA damage in healthy cells that can remain unrepaired for years. While most types of DNA damage are ...

They observed that social stress activates neurons in the hippocampus and cortex, showing signs of senescence and DNA damage. These markers are characteristic of accelerated aging. Alessandro ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...
