Scientists discovered four protein changes that help naked mole rats repair DNA faster. These small tweaks may explain their ...

These burrowing animals have a biological mechanism that does the opposite of what it does in humans: it repairs DNA instead ...

What naked mole-rats lack in the looks department they make up for it in longevity, living healthily for nearly four decades.

A few tiny molecular tweaks may explain why naked mole-rats live nearly ten times longer than similar species. Researchers ...

Naked mole-rats are one of nature's most extraordinary creatures. These burrowing rodents can live for up to 37 years, around ...

A new study of the bizarre naked mole rat shows that the animals have evolved a DNA repair mechanism that could explain their ...

You can always be judged by your scars. This is the idea that sums up one of the new advances in basic and biomedical research published in the journal Science by the Spanish National Cancer Research ...

Researchers from the University of Birmingham have uncovered answers that provide the detail to explain two specific DNA repair processes that have long been in question. The publication of two papers ...

When a key protein regulator dials down DNA repair mechanisms, our cells accumulate more mutations, which may cause us to age ...

An artificial intelligence-predicted image of a region in the SPRTN enzyme (green structure) that can recognise and bind to ubiquitin chains (orange structure). Researchers at the University of Oxford ...

This came up in a front page discussion recently, and I promised I'd do a bit of a brain dump. The motivation: people often talk about whether we're regulating the risks posed by exposure to radiation ...
