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

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

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

Researchers created a highly efficient gene-editing method that fixes multiple DNA mutations in a single step. The breakthrough could revolutionize genetic medicine by making treatments for complex ...

A new fluorescent sensor is giving scientists an unprecedented view of how cells respond to DNA damage, capturing the repair process as it unfolds in real time. The tool, developed at Utrecht ...

Cancer research, drug safety testing and aging biology may all gain a major boost from a new fluorescent sensor developed at Utrecht University. This new tool allows scientists to watch DNA damage and ...

Marc Santos is a Guides Staff Writer from the Philippines. He's a seasoned writer with over four years of industry experience, and he is an enjoyer of all things difficult in gaming. If Marc's not ...

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 ...

Using comparative molecular biology with human cGAS – which actually inhibits DNA repair – the scientists found that the naked mole-rat's enzyme has four key changes that facilitate the important work ...

A clump of proteins seems to be in charge of the level of DNA repair that takes place in our bodies, determining how fast mutations accumulate in our cells over a lifetime – and might thus affect our ...

There are plenty of beauty trends that sound unusual (we’ve covered onion shampoos and beef tallow as a moisturizer, to name a few), but rarely are they quite as jarring as “salmon sperm” facials. You ...

The human genome consists of 3 billion base pairs, and when a cell divides, it takes about seven hours to complete making a copy of its DNA. That's almost 120,000 base pairs per second. At that ...
