Cells have to protect the genome, and there are mechanisms in place to repair DNA damage that does arise. But sometimes those mechanisms fail. New research reported in Nature Communications has ...

Researchers discovered that bowhead whales achieve extraordinary longevity and cancer resistance through highly efficient and ...

Bowel cancer cells have the ability to regulate their growth using a genetic on-off switch to maximize their chances of survival, a phenomenon that's been observed for the first time by researchers at ...

Researchers have discovered a new genetic link to the most common type of bone cancer among children and young ...

A gene that helped bowheads adapt to frigid Arctic waters also granted them extraordinary longevity. Could it help aging ...

In a study published this week in the journal Nature, researchers found that the key to the whales’ lifespans is a ...

Two companion studies published in Cancer Research by scientists at Moffitt Cancer Center identify distinct but complementary ...

Bowhead whales—some of the longest-lived mammals on the planet—may owe their impressive lifespans to a knack for cellular ...

As humans age, we become more vulnerable to cancer and other diseases. Bowhead whales, however, can live for up to 200 years ...

Scientists in Helsinki studied nearly 400 dog families to see how new DNA mutations arise in puppies. They found that older parents, especially fathers, pass on more genetic changes. The research ...
