The DNA in our cells is constantly damaged, with the most severe being the simultaneous breakage of both strands that compose it. In a study published in Nature Communications, scientists reveal in ...

Your DNA is continually damaged by sources both inside and outside your body. One especially severe form of damage called a double-strand break involves the severing of both strands of the DNA double ...

UK: A recent study finds that acute exercise suppresses colorectal cancer progression by altering the circulating proteome, ...

Researchers have discovered how a metabolite involved in repairing damaged DNA not only controls a person’s sensitivity to cancer therapies but can also protect healthy tissues from damage. The ...

How do we find out which protein works in a particular DNA repair pathway? We know that if a DNA repair gene is mutated, cells become more sensitive to DNA damaging agents. Researchers in the 1960s ...

New research led by researchers at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), School of Medicine, reveals a novel map that depicts the human body’s system for addressing and repairing DNA ...

Researchers have uncovered answers that provide the detail to explain two specific DNA repair processes that have long been in question. Researchers from the University of Birmingham have uncovered ...

A new UCLA Health study has discovered in mouse models that genes associated with repairing mismatched DNA are critical in eliciting damages to neurons that are most vulnerable in Huntington's disease ...
