Tiny tweaks in DNA folding can have big effects. A study from Umeå University shows that even the most subtle changes in DNA's shape have an important influence on gene activity and energy production.

Researchers in China have determined to identify the genetic basis for the naked mole-rats’ increased longevity.

Wearing sunscreen and avoiding excessive UV exposure are well-known ways to reduce the risk of skin cancer. A new study suggests some people can add another approach to the list: taking nicotinamide ...
