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

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

DNA can sustain serious injuries called double strand breaks, in which both strands of the helix snap. These breaks are among ...

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

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

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

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

Following a double-strand DNA break, an enzyme called PARP1 helps hold the two strands together —like superglue— and creates a safe zone for other proteins to come repair the damage. We don’t exactly ...

An elegant collaboration between researchers in the UK's two core-funded Medical Research Council Research Institutes, the Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) in London and the Laboratory of ...

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

(Nanowerk News) A new study adds to an emerging, radically new picture of how bacterial cells continually repair faulty sections of their DNA. Such mistakes are frequent in code-copying process in ...

When DNA breaks, cells must repair it accurately to prevent harmful mutations. Researchers have discovered that during a key repair process called homologous recombination, the cell uses loops in its ...
