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

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

In a quiet lab at Utrecht University, researchers have built a tool that lets you watch one of life’s most serious crises ...

Scientists have developed TY1, the first-ever drug capable of repairing DNA and regenerating tissue damaged by heart attacks and inflammatory diseases.

The DNA inside our cells is constantly being damaged, and one of the worst kinds of damage is a double-strand break—when both sides of the DNA helix are cut at once. Healthy cells can normally fix ...

All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their epigenetics -meticulously placed chemical tags that influence which genes are expressed in ...

Cancer research, drug safety testing and ageing biology may all gain a major boost from a new fluorescent sensor developed at Utrecht University.

The findings may have important implications for diseases linked to mitochondrial dysfunction. A newly identified form of DNA damage inside mitochondria, the small structures that supply energy to our ...

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have shown that DNA inflexibility, or rigidity, inside the nucleosome regulates the positioning of INO80. This highlights that the ...
