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 ...

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, ...

Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic ...

New research from the Kind Group at the Hubrecht Institute sheds light on how cells repair damaged DNA. For the first time, the team has mapped the activity of repair proteins in individual human ...

DNA repair proteins act like the body's editors, constantly finding and reversing damage to our genetic code. Researchers have long struggled to understand how cancer cells hijack one of these ...

New research from the Kind Group at the Hubrecht Institute sheds light on how cells repair damaged DNA. For the first time, the team has mapped the activity of repair proteins in individual human ...

Researchers at the University of Birmingham have made significant strides in understanding two key DNA repair pathways—offering much-needed clarity to an area of molecular biology that has long ...

Short bursts of energetic activity for 10 minutes daily could not only increase your fitness levels, but also help fight ...

Researchers developed a biomimetic nanovesicle that crosses the blood-brain barrier, degrades DNA repair proteins, and restores temozolomide sensitivity in glioblastoma. (Nanowerk Spotlight) ...
