Researchers have mapped the activity of repair proteins in individual human cells. The study demonstrates how these proteins ...

New findings indicate cannabis contributes to severe cellular and genetic damage, raising cancer risks and potentially ...

A multi-institutional team of researchers, led by Georgia Tech's Francesca Storici, has discovered a previously unknown role ...

DNA damage and repair refers to the creation and correction of DNA lesions that threaten genome integrity. Because DNA replication errors or environmental agents that damage DNA can introduce ...

The study demonstrates how these proteins collaborate in so-called 'hubs' to repair DNA damage. This knowledge offers opportunities to improve cancer therapies and other treatments where DNA ...

Sleep deprivation can damage DNA and the body’s ability to repair this, possibly leading to higher chances of genetic diseases such as cancer, a study has found. The University of Hong Kong ...

Their findings have important implications not just for gene editing-based therapy, but also for CRISPR-mediated gene editing of animals and plants, where the same types of large-scale genetic damage ...

New research from the Kind Group at the Hubrecht Institute sheds light on how cells repair damaged DNA. For the first time, the team has mapped the activity of repair proteins in individual human ...
