Researchers at The Institute of Cancer Research, London, have uncovered how the DNA repair enzyme XPF-ERCC1 is recruited to sites of damage and activated inside cells, resolving a long-standing ...

Inside the lab where scientists want to rewrite our DNA from scratch - Artificial biological intelligence could change ...

Cellular findings show Telomir-Zn modulates intracellular metal balance linked to oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction ...

Particle therapy, including proton and carbon ion radiotherapy, represents a major advancement in cancer treatment due to its ...

An upside-down jellyfish drifts in a shallow lagoon, rhythmically contracting its translucent bell. By night that beat drops ...

Unrepaired DNA-protein crosslinks (DPCs) – highly toxic tangles of protein and DNA – cause a process that leads to premature ...

A team of researchers have identified a fundamental mechanism that links the 24-hour circadian cycle to the precise repair of DNA breaks. This study, conducted by researchers from the Andalusian ...

Once failed in high school chemistry due to a teacher’s judgement, Tomas Lindahl later reshaped the same discipline. Awarded the 2015 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his pioneering DNA repair research, ...

Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During that process, enzymes known as polymerases race along the DNA to copy its ...

As people age, their immune systems deteriorate. This makes them more susceptible to infections and can mean that vaccines ...

Greenland sharks may look like they’re staring through fog, but new evidence suggests they can keep functional vision for centuries. The research identifies a DNA repair process that protects the ...
