RNA’s Surprising Role in DNA Repair New insights could lead to improved treatments for cancer and other diseases. Francesca Storici and her research team discovered a surprising role for RNA in DNA ...

A new study shows that cancer damages its own DNA by pushing key genes to work too hard. Researchers found that the most powerful genetic "on switches" in cancer cells, called super-enhancers, drive ...

“By enhancing DNA repair, we can heal tissue damage that occurs during a heart attack,” Ibrahim said. “We are particularly excited because TY1 also works in other conditions, including autoimmune ...

New research sheds light on how cells repair damaged DNA. For the first time, the team has mapped the activity of repair proteins in individual human cells. The study demonstrates how these proteins ...

Objectives Understanding the molecular changes in the preclinical synovium is crucial for identifying factors that drive ...

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 ...

Researchers have uncovered answers that provide the detail to explain two specific DNA repair processes that have long been in question. Researchers from the University of Birmingham have uncovered ...

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 ...

A research team led by Professor ZHAO Guoping at the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has unveiled a crucial mechanism that helps regulate DNA damage repair, ...

A new paper published in Science Translational Medicine describes an experimental drug capable of repairing DNA damage caused by disease. Developed by scientists at Cedars-Sinai, the potential ...
