DNA is well known as the blueprint of life, necessary for an organism to facilitate living processes. DNA can be damaged by various factors such as radical metabolites, radiation, and some toxic ...

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 ...

The DNA mismatch repair (MMR) system is necessary for the maintenance of genomic stability. In a broad sense, all main functions of the MMR system, including the correction of biosynthetic errors, DNA ...

Neophore Ltd. announced a £6 million (US$7.4 million) extension to its series B, bringing the total for the round to £21.5 million and enabling it to take forward a second DNA mismatch repair program.
