DNA can sustain serious injuries called double strand breaks, in which both strands of the helix snap. These breaks are among ...
An international research team has identified a human protein, ANKLE1, as the first DNA-cutting enzyme (nuclease) in mammals ...
Scripps Research scientists have discovered how some tumors endure DNA damage, revealing a potential new way to target them. The DNA inside our cells is constantly exposed to damage, and one of the ...
High-resolution imaging has revealed the internal layout of chromatin condensates, showing how DNA fibers fold and interact ...
When DNA breaks, cells must repair it accurately to prevent harmful mutations. Researchers have discovered that during a key ...
A new fluorescent sensor is giving scientists an unprecedented view of how cells respond to DNA damage, capturing the repair process as it unfolds in real time. The tool, developed at Utrecht ...
Cancer research, drug safety testing and aging biology may all gain a major boost from a new fluorescent sensor developed at Utrecht University. This new tool allows scientists to watch DNA damage and ...
