"The DNA inside our cells is constantly experiencing damage, and DNA repair is happening all the time to fix that damage and ...

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 ...

“Our lab is generally interested in discovering and characterizing previously unknown or poorly understood factors that are essential for genome maintenance. This is particularly important in the ...

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 ...

How an enzyme involved in DNA repair becomes vital to the survival of certain cancers has been identified by scientists, paving the way for clinical trials evaluating the effects of blocking this ...

"Use it or lose it" goes the adage, applied liberally to everything from our muscles to our minds, especially as we age. Yet when it comes to the brain, such usage is not entirely a good thing: While ...

You can always be judged by your scars. This is the idea that sums up what researchers at Spanish National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO) claim is one of the new breakthroughs in basic and biomedical ...

Sections of DNA once dismissed as dormant and useless could in fact be recruited to fight certain types of drug-resistant ...

Scientists have identified how an enzyme involved in DNA repair (POLQ), becomes vital to the survival of certain cancers, if the cancer cells lose the ability to use a more common method of DNA repair ...
