A research team has identified a new mechanism that controls DNA’s ability to replicate—and thereby a cell’s ability to ...

Although DNA is tightly packed and protected within the cell nucleus, it is constantly threatened by damage from normal ...

Researchers show that loss of the SPRTN enzyme lets DNA–protein crosslinks accumulate, leak DNA into the cytoplasm, activate ...

DNA, though tightly packed in the nucleus, is constantly threatened by damage from metabolism and external stressors. One particularly severe form of DNA damage is the so-called DNA–protein crosslinks ...

DNA is often described as the instruction manual for building the fundamental components of life. Proteins are helpers that ...

A major advance in cell biology has revealed how our cells safeguard their genetic material during one of the most vulnerable moments in their life cycle. The study identifies a specific protein ...

If measured from beginning to end, the DNA in our cells is too long to fit into the cell’s nucleus, explaining why it must be constantly folded and packaged. When it is time for cell division, and the ...

Although DNA is tightly packed and safeguarded within the cell nucleus, it remains continually at risk of damage from normal ...

(Nanowerk News) If measured from beginning to end, the DNA in our cells is too long to fit into the cell’s nucleus, explaining why it must be constantly folded and packaged. When it is time for cell ...

Although DNA is tightly packed and protected within the cell nucleus, it is constantly threatened by damage from normal metabolic processes or ...
