Acute exercise triggers circulating changes that improve DNA damage repair and remodel gene expression in colon cancer cells, ...
DNA repair proteins act like the body's editors, constantly finding and reversing damage to our genetic code. Researchers have long struggled to understand how cancer cells hijack one of these ...
Researchers have revealed the structural mechanisms of a major DNA repair pathway in human cells. The research, published today as a Reviewed Preprint in eLife, is described by the editors as a ...
Stanford Medicine researchers sifted through thousands of single nucleotide mutations in DNA to identify fewer than 400 that are functionally associated with inherited cancer risk. Thousands of single ...
DNA can sustain serious injuries called double strand breaks, in which both strands of the helix snap. These breaks are among the most dangerous forms of DNA damage and immediately trigger the cell's ...
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, ...
A new study uncovers how working at 35,000 feet may disrupt DNA repair and immune function in flight attendants, offering fresh insights into the health risks faced by cabin crews and the urgent need ...
(Nanowerk News) Scientists have uncovered a critical role for rapid DNA repair in maintaining genome stability. A new study reveals that repair of double-strand breaks (DSBs) in nuclear DNA serves as ...
The Pol-theta enzyme (blue) joins two parts of a broken DNA strand (yellow). This process is mutagenic and can give rise to cancer. LA JOLLA, CA—DNA repair proteins act like the body’s editors, ...
