The DNA inside our cells is constantly being damaged, and one of the worst kinds of damage is a double-strand break—when both ...

After two decades in the making, scientists have cracked the code on a drug that can repair DNA, setting the scene for a new ...

Cedars-Sinai researchers have created TY1, an experimental RNA-based drug that helps the body repair damaged DNA and restore injured tissue. The idea came from studying tiny molecular “messages” ...

A novel technology combined with optical tweezer C-trap technology gives researchers new insight into DNA repair mechanisms. Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh (PA, USA) have developed a ...

Researchers at the University of Toronto have discovered a DNA repair mechanism that advances understanding of how human cells stay healthy, and which could lead to new treatments for cancer and ...

Deinococcus radiodurans is renowned for its extraordinary resistance to ionising radiation and other environmental stresses. This bacterium employs a combination of passive and active mechanisms to ...

Researchers have discovered a DNA repair mechanism that advances understanding of how human cells stay healthy, and which could lead to new treatments for cancer and premature aging. Researchers at ...

Circular DNA, thought to be an accidental byproduct, is borrowing the cell’s DNA repair mechanisms to copy itself DURHAM, N.C. -- Like its viral cousins, a somewhat parasitic DNA sequence called a ...

Mitochondria are often described as the cell’s power plants, but a wave of new research suggests their genetic material may ...

A new study adds to an emerging, radically new picture of how bacterial cells continually repair faulty sections of their DNA. Published online May 16 in the journal Cell, the report describes the ...

Findings from a preclinical study demonstrate that Omomyc—the only direct MYC inhibitor to have successfully completed a ...

(Nanowerk News) A new study adds to an emerging, radically new picture of how bacterial cells continually repair faulty sections of their DNA. Such mistakes are frequent in code-copying process in ...
