If severe DNA damage is not repaired, the consequences for the health of cells and tissues are dramatic. A study led by ...

Although DNA is tightly packed and protected within the cell nucleus, it is constantly threatened by damage from normal ...

Unrepaired DNA-protein crosslinks (DPCs) – highly toxic tangles of protein and DNA – cause a process that leads to premature ...

A new study shows that cancer damages its own DNA by pushing key genes to work too hard. Researchers found that the most ...

DNA can sustain serious injuries called double strand breaks, in which both strands of the helix snap. These breaks are among the most dangerous forms of DNA damage and immediately trigger the cell's ...

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 ...

Researchers have uncovered answers that provide the detail to explain two specific DNA repair processes that have long been in question. Researchers from the University of Birmingham have uncovered ...

Objectives Understanding the molecular changes in the preclinical synovium is crucial for identifying factors that drive ...

An upside-down jellyfish drifts in a shallow lagoon, rhythmically contracting its translucent bell. By night that beat drops ...
