Similar to the way DNA damage can contribute to human diseases such as cancer, it can also disrupt growth, development and ...
Salk Institute scientists identify YAF9B as a protein activated by DNA damage, acting like an emergency responder to ...
DNA is the blueprint of the human body. However, tens of thousands of DNA lesions occur in our bodies every day. In ...
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 in plants serves as a ...
Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic tangles overwhelm normal repair pathways, cells flip on a fast but error-prone ...
A powerful new discovery reveals that Nup98 a protein once thought to only ferry molecules through the nucleus plays a vital role in safeguarding the most vulnerable areas of DNA. By forming ...
