The DNA inside our cells is constantly being damaged, and one of the worst kinds of damage is a double-strand break—when both ...
Alcohol consumption leads to the formation of a toxic compound called acetaldehyde, which damages DNA. A research team from ...
In a new study, scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig analyzed the impact of more ...
When DNA breaks, cells must repair it accurately to prevent harmful mutations. Researchers have discovered that during a key ...
DNA can sustain serious injuries called double strand breaks, in which both strands of the helix snap. These breaks are among ...
Alcohol consumption leads to the formation of a toxic compound called acetaldehyde, which damages DNA. A research team from ...
Cedars-Sinai scientists have created a new experimental drug called TY1 that helps the body repair damaged DNA and restore ...
Tardigrades were first discovered in the Eighteenth Century and are known to survive in some of Earth’s most inhospitable environments. “What we saw surprised us,” study co-author and University of ...
Genetic mutations which cause a debilitating hereditary kidney disease affecting children and young adults have been fixed in patient-derived kidney cells using a potentially game-changing DNA ...
Scientists have developed a new CRISPR-based technology that could offer a safer approach to correcting genetic defects. The new 'soft' CRISPR approach makes use of natural DNA repair machinery, ...
Cedars-Sinai researchers have created TY1, an experimental RNA-based drug that helps the body repair damaged DNA and restore injured tissue. The idea came from studying tiny molecular “messages” ...
Bacteria and mammals may use similar mechanisms in a major yet poorly understood DNA repair pathway, suggests a report in the October 22 Science. In theory, coauthor Aidan Doherty of the University of ...
