Cancer research, drug safety testing and ageing biology may all gain a major boost from a new fluorescent sensor developed at ...

A breakthrough live-cell sensor makes DNA repair visible as it happens, unlocking new possibilities in biology and medicine.

New live-cell DNA damage sensor lets scientists watch repair unfold in real time, potentially opening doors for cancer and aging research.

A previously unknown type of DNA damage in the mitochondria, the tiny power plants inside our cells, could shed light on how ...

Artios Pharma, which looking for newer targets that, like PARP inhibitors, affect the way tumors fix themselves, said its ...

DNA can be damaged by normal cellular processes as well as external factors such as UV radiation and chemicals. Such damage can lead to breaks in the DNA strand. If DNA damage is not properly repaired ...

DNA repair is essential for the maintenance of genomic stability and its failure can lead to human disease. Various DNA repair systems exist, such as base excision repair, nucleotide excision repair, ...

The gene editing tool known as CRISPR-Cas9 is changing what's possible for treating a wide range of diseases caused by ...

“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 ...

Water bears survive cosmic radiation with one DNA-protecting protein, Dsup. Learning how could help protect humans against ...

Organisms like eukaryotes and prokaryotes have sophisticated mechanisms of DNA repair after damage. Failure of repairing the DNA damage is considered to be the cause of induction of cell death, ...

Just as humans heal from injuries, bacteria survive by repairing their own damaged DNA. A team of Korean researchers has now ...
