A research team led by Professor ZHAO Guoping at the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has unveiled a crucial mechanism that helps regulate DNA damage repair, ...

Proteins PIF1 and PCNA gather at sites of DNA damage in SETX-deficient cells, indicating activation of the BIR repair system. LA JOLLA, CA—The DNA inside our cells is constantly being damaged, and one ...

A new test provides a much more complete picture of DNA than current standard diagnostics and leads to a diagnosis more often. The test can replace 15 other tests, making it faster and more efficient.

Migrating newborn neurons suffer routine double-strand DNA breaks from physical stress during brain development.

Cancer cells survive by repairing damage to their DNA—even damage that would normally be fatal. One of their most important defense systems is homologous recombination, a high-precision repair pathway ...

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 ...

Cancer cells often survive treatment by fixing the DNA damage that therapy is meant to cause. Researchers found that UNI418 can disrupt this repair ability, leaving cancer cells more exposed. When ...

Newborn nerve cells must squeeze through crowded, narrow spaces—through dense tissue, past other cells, and between fibers—to ...

A new study uncovers how working at 35,000 feet may disrupt DNA repair and immune function in flight attendants, offering fresh insights into the health risks faced by cabin crews and the urgent need ...
