Khaberni - Nearly four decades after the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear reactor disaster, a new study reveals clear evidence of some effects of radiation exposure being passed to the next generation. Research ...

The DNA damage from ionizing radiation (IR) erupting from the Chernobyl nuclear disaster of 1986 is showing up in the ...

CHILDREN of the Chernobyl “liquidators” who risked it all to clean up the toxic mess are now suffering the consequences, researchers revealed. Almost 40 years since the ...

Mitochondria are well known as the powerhouses of the cell because of their energy generating capabilities. These little organelles are very special, because they also carry their own tiny little ...

What do your genes have to do with growing old? Quite a lot. But is it due to the actual DNA, or the way those genes are expressed? KPBS sci-tech reporter Thomas Fudge has more on new research that ...

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 that ...

Only around two percent of the human genome codes for proteins, and while those proteins carry out many important functions of the cell, the rest of the genome cannot be ignored. However, for decades ...
