DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave.

A Northwestern Medicine study has revealed a previously unknown connection between two fundamental cellular processes, ...

Here we propose the concept of infection-driven senescence (IDS) to describe the phenomenon in which microbial agents, beyond viruses, can trigger ...
