A research group has demonstrated that overexpression of Cdc10-dependent transcript 1 (CDT1), a key regulator of DNA ...

Cedars-Sinai scientists have developed an experimental drug that repairs DNA and serves as a prototype for a new class of ...

After a spinal cord injury, cells in the brain and spinal cord change to cope with stress and repair tissue. A new study from ...

Researchers created a highly efficient gene-editing method that fixes multiple DNA mutations in a single step. The breakthrough could revolutionize genetic medicine by making treatments for complex ...

A new fluorescent sensor is giving scientists an unprecedented view of how cells respond to DNA damage, capturing the repair process as it unfolds in real time. The tool, developed at Utrecht ...

Cancer research, drug safety testing and aging biology may all gain a major boost from a new fluorescent sensor developed at Utrecht University. This new tool allows scientists to watch DNA damage and ...

His decoding of the blueprint for life with Francis H.C. Crick made him one of the most important scientists of the 20th century. He wrote a celebrated memoir and later ignited an uproar with racist ...

Composer Peter Hugh White and librettist Clare Heath join host Rosie Millard in front of a London audience to explore why the story of chemist and x-ray crystallographer Rosalind Franklin and the race ...

The bowhead whale’s remarkable lifespan and low cancer risk stem from a finely tuned DNA repair system driven by a unique protein, CIRBP. Scientists found that this mechanism not only preserves the ...

Officer Kaur wants you to sabotage the Protectorate's Automech Repair Facility and put it permanently out of commission. While you can blast your way in guns blazing, it's a better idea to find ...

Using comparative molecular biology with human cGAS – which actually inhibits DNA repair – the scientists found that the naked mole-rat's enzyme has four key changes that facilitate the important work ...

The secret to the naked mole-rats’ extraordinarily long life may lie in subtle changes to just four amino acids, researchers report. According to a new study, evolutionary mutations in cGAS – an ...
