Inside every human cell, six feet of DNA folds into a nucleus that is only a few micrometers wide, yet still manages to switch genes on and off with exquisite precision. The latest work on ...

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 scientists have created a new experimental drug called TY1 that helps the body repair damaged DNA and restore ...

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” ...

High-resolution imaging has revealed the internal layout of chromatin condensates, showing how DNA fibers fold and interact ...

TY1 enhances the action of TREX1, a gene that helps immune cells clear damaged DNA, helping to minimize scar tissue post heart attacks.

New Houston Methodist research has revealed that a protein associated with neurodegenerative diseases such as dementia and ...

When DNA breaks, cells must repair it accurately to prevent harmful mutations. Researchers have discovered that during a key ...
