Researchers have shown that harmful bonds between protein and DNA fuel immune attack in progeria. Pumping up a protein that cuts these bonds could prevent symptoms.

A new mouse study found that unrepaired DNA-protein crosslinks activate inflammatory signaling pathways that trigger early aging disorders.

One of the biggest hurdles in developing an HIV vaccine is coaxing the body to produce the right kind of immune cells and ...

Gene therapy holds the promise of preventing and curing disease by manipulating gene expression within a patient's cells. However, to be effective, the new gene must make it into a cell's nucleus. The ...
