Scientists have captured the most detailed structural images to date of a specific type of protein's DNA repair process, a ...

Cancer cells survive by repairing damage to their DNA—even damage that would normally be fatal. One of their most important ...

Homologous recombination is a DNA repair mechanism that counteracts double-stranded breaks in DNA. Researchers at Kindai University have recently revealed how the Sae2 protein coordinates with the ...

Scientists have captured the most detailed structural images to date of a specific type of protein's DNA repair process, a ...

Poly(ADP‐ribose) polymerases (PARPs) are a family of enzymes that play a crucial role in maintaining genomic integrity by detecting DNA damage and facilitating its repair. By catalysing the covalent ...

While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells’ in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research shows. This means that ...

If severe DNA damage is not repaired, the consequences for the health of cells and tissues are dramatic. A study led by researchers at Goethe University Frankfurt, part of the Rhine-Main University ...

RNA is one of the bodies most vital molecules, and it comes in a few forms. For example, messenger RNA fills an essential role in gene expression by copying the sequences of active genes, which are ...

A team of Israeli researchers has found that one of the reasons that sleep could be so important to animals — including humans — is that it takes neurons 'offline' so DNA damage accumulated during ...

CPD, a biotechnology-derived active based on an Antarctic scientific discovery. Developed for topical use, it supports DNA ...
