RNA, widely known from the COVID-19 vaccine, is not actually a "therapeutic agent," but a technology that delivers the ...

DNA can be damaged by normal cellular processes as well as external factors such as UV radiation and chemicals. Such damage can lead to breaks in the DNA strand. If DNA damage is not properly repaired ...

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

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

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

New live-cell DNA damage sensor lets scientists watch repair unfold in real time, potentially opening doors for cancer and aging research.

New Houston Methodist research has revealed that a protein associated with neurodegenerative diseases such as dementia and ...

Scientists have created a live-cell DNA sensor that reveals how damage appears and disappears inside living cells, capturing ...

The repair of damage to genetic material (DNA) in the human body is carried out by highly efficient mechanisms that have not yet been fully researched. A scientific team has now discovered a ...

New Houston Methodist research has revealed that a protein associated with neurodegenerative diseases such as dementia and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) also plays a role in regulating DNA ...

The Pol-theta enzyme (blue) joins two parts of a broken DNA strand (yellow). This process is mutagenic and can give rise to cancer. LA JOLLA, CA—DNA repair proteins act like the body’s editors, ...
