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

Research shows synthetic chromosomes can be transferred to human cells with potential to improve viral resistance ...

Cancer isn't just about broken genes—it's about broken architecture. Imagine a city where roads suddenly vanish, cutting off ...

A breakthrough live-cell sensor makes DNA repair visible as it happens, unlocking new possibilities in biology and medicine.

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

When DNA breaks, cells must repair it accurately to prevent harmful mutations. Researchers have discovered that during a key ...

When cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication process can cause alterations in genomic DNA, promoting cellular ageing, cancer, ...

With a new study in the journal Cell, researchers at Stanford University and Stockholm University have contributed to ...
