New research reveals that triggering a cell’s DNA damage response could be a promising avenue for developing novel treatments against several rare but devastating viruses for which no antiviral ...
DNA can sustain serious injuries called double strand breaks, in which both strands of the helix snap. These breaks are among ...
When cell division (mitosis) takes too long, it can be a sign that something is wrong with the cells, for example, DNA damage ...
A research team from the University of California, Irvine has revealed a previously unknown mechanism that triggers an inflammatory immune response in cells when their DNA is damaged. This discovery ...
Despite the significance of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in solid tumor treatment, identifying ICI-sensitive populations remains a challenge. Mutations in DNA damage response (DDR) pathway ...
Researchers identified a new, sticky form of mitochondrial DNA damage that builds up at dramatically higher levels than in ...
After a finite number of divisions, cells simply give up. As each round of replication trims their telomeres—the protective ...
