Newborn mice neurons can snap both DNA strands to migrate, then repair the breaks within a day. The process may be a normal ...

The Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science has developed an ultrasensitive immunoassay-based analytical platform ...

The DNA in our cells is constantly damaged, with the most severe being the simultaneous breakage of both strands that compose it. In a study published in Nature Communications, scientists reveal in ...

The class of drugs known as DNA Damage Response inhibitors, which work by blocking cancer cells’ ability to repair their own damaged DNA, is expanding rapidly beyond its original anchor, the PARP ...

Scientists found a protein that may help tumors repair DNA damage, revealing a new challenge for cancer treatment.

PARP inhibitors reshaped oncology when they first reached patients some 10 years ago, but they represent just one entry point into a much larger and more intricate biological network.

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

Scientists have discovered that a gene normally considered a DNA-protecting "good guy" can become dangerous when cells make too much of it. The gene, EXO1, acts like molecular scissors that help ...

The base excision repair pathway protects DNA from base damage via oxidation, deamination, alkylation and methylation. DNA glycosylases are key enzymes that recognize damaged bases in a ...

Researchers from the MRC Protein Phosphorylation and Ubiquitylation Unit at the University of Dundee, together with collaborators from ETH Zürich, the Malopolska Center of Biotechnology and the ...

Your DNA is continually damaged by sources both inside and outside your body. One especially severe form of damage called a double-strand break involves the severing of both strands of the DNA double ...
