Most of the cells in our body carry the genome, and those cells are constantly bombarded with environmental influences including UV rays, pollution, alcohol, and other exposures that can damage the ...

A research team led by Professor ZHAO Guoping at the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has unveiled a crucial mechanism that helps regulate DNA damage repair, ...

Scripps Research scientists have discovered how some tumors endure DNA damage, revealing a potential new way to target them. The DNA inside our cells is constantly exposed to damage, and one of the ...

Researchers from Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg identified a new mechanism in the DNA damage response involving the long non-coding RNA NEAT1. Increased NEAT1 levels and methylation enhance ...

After two decades in the making, scientists have cracked the code on a drug that can repair DNA, setting the scene for a new ...

Deinococcus radiodurans is renowned for its extraordinary resistance to ionising radiation and other environmental stresses. This bacterium employs a combination of passive and active mechanisms to ...

The DNA inside our cells is constantly being damaged, and one of the worst kinds of damage is a double-strand break—when both ...

A team of international researchers at the University of Oxford (Oxford) and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore), has discovered a new process for repairing damaged DNA that is ...

Cedars-Sinai scientists have created a new experimental drug called TY1 that helps the body repair damaged DNA and restore ...
