Cells have to protect the genome, and there are mechanisms in place to repair DNA damage that does arise. But sometimes those mechanisms fail. New research reported in Nature Communications has ...

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

Better understanding of the mechanisms involved in DNA repair may pave the way for developing inhibitors to improve the effectiveness of radiation therapy. Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is a ...

Each cell in our bodies carries about two meters of DNA in its nucleus, packed into a tiny volume of just a few hundred cubic micrometers-about a millionth of a milliliter. The cell manages this by ...

Tampa (BLOOM) – Understanding the intricate process of aging has been a subject of fascination for scientists and researchers. While aging is a natural part of life, recent studies have shed light on ...
