The team from Hebrew University of Jerusalem focused on benzo(a)pyrene, toxic chemical in cigarette smoke, disrupts its normal function, causing damage to cells ...

Cigarette smoke causes cancer primarily by damaging the DNA. A new study that mapped these damages has revealed that the way our DNA is organized and chemically modified can influence how cigarette ...

UNIGE scientists have developed a groundbreaking technology that creates synthetic molecules mimicking antibodies, potentially revolutionizing disease treatments.

To go further: what is a nucleic acid base? Nucleic acid bases are essential molecules for the structure of DNA and RNA, the carriers of genetic information. They play a key role in storing and ...

Although gut microbiota and lipid metabolites have been suggested to be closely associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), the interactions between gut microbiota, ...

We recommend using your OS's package manager directly instead for improved security but the install script is by no means insecure. In addition to being a runnable CLI tool, D2 can also be used to ...

Dietary measures and medications may help reduce uric acid and manage gout. Gout can occur when blood uric acid levels are too high, causing crystals to form in the toes, feet, and other joints.
