Italian centenarians have a higher proportion of DNA inherited from ancient hunter-gatherers compared to the general population, according to a new study that could lead to better understanding of ...

Some people credit good habits or good fortune for a long life. But a new genetic study suggests the secret to reaching 100 may lie much deeper - in DNA inherited from ancient hunter-gatherers who ...

Our hunter-gatherer ancestors have given us many things. They passed down mastery of fire for cooking and early survival technologies, such as stone tools. They may also have given us the secret to a ...

Alcohol consumption leads to the formation of a toxic compound called acetaldehyde, which damages DNA. A research team from IOCB Prague has now described in detail how cells repair this damaged ...
