Similar to the way DNA damage can contribute to human diseases such as cancer, it can also disrupt growth, development and ...
Scientists discovered a protein that helps plants repair DNA damage from sunlight, which could improve future crop gene ...
Cancer cells often survive treatment by fixing the DNA damage that therapy is meant to cause. Researchers found that UNI418 ...
Salk Institute scientists identify YAF9B as a protein activated by DNA damage, acting like an emergency responder to ...
New research sheds light on how cells repair damaged DNA. For the first time, the team has mapped the activity of repair proteins in individual human cells. The study demonstrates how these proteins ...
DNA is the blueprint of the human body. However, tens of thousands of DNA lesions occur in our bodies every day. In ...
Homologous recombination is a DNA repair mechanism that counteracts double-stranded breaks in DNA. Researchers at Kindai University have recently revealed how the Sae2 protein coordinates with the ...
The bowhead whale’s remarkable lifespan and low cancer risk stem from a finely tuned DNA repair system driven by a unique protein, CIRBP. Scientists found that this mechanism not only preserves the ...
A new study shows that cancer damages its own DNA by pushing key genes to work too hard. Researchers found that the most powerful genetic "on switches" in cancer cells, called super-enhancers, drive ...
