Researchers performed a cross-sectional study involving 1,151 participants from the ages of 6 to 18. New research uncovers ...

The absence of TEFM led to a substantial decrease in mtDNA copy number, along with reductions in 7S DNA levels and strand-asynchronous replication intermediates. These findings suggest that TEFM ...

Colossal, a genetics startup, has birthed three pups that contain ancient DNA retrieved from the remains of the animal’s ...

To address these challenges, we present a straightforward, amplification-free, purely enzymatic assay coupled with ssNP sensing that permits robust and accurate mtDNA copy number quantification from ...

into skeletal muscle mitochondrial deoxyribonucleic acid (mtDNA), which has the potential to restore mitochondrial DNA copy number and improve skeletal muscle function in patients with TK2d. 14,15,16 ...

Ring-shaped extrachromosomal DNA is implicated in many cancers. Rachel Brazil talks to the scientists trying to uncover their ...

You’ve been struggling to maintain your fitness levels and body composition in recent years, your head feels foggy, and your performance in the bedroom is floundering. Although it’s natural ...

The objectives of this report were to determine whether mutant loads (1) are homogeneously distributed across the whole placentas, (2) correlate with those in amniocytes and cord blood cells and (3) ...

Testosterone-boosting foods like oysters, eggs, leafy greens, and fatty fish may help build muscle, improve energy levels, and enhance your overall health. Direct evidence linking onions to ...

Damage to the genetic material of mitochondria – the mitochondrial DNA or mtDNA for short – can lead to diseases such as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), cardiovascular ...
