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 ...

Cedars-Sinai scientists have created a new experimental drug called TY1 that helps the body repair damaged DNA and restore ...

The DNA inside our cells is constantly being damaged, and one of the worst kinds of damage is a double-strand break-when both sides of the DNA helix are cut at once.

TY1 enhances the action of TREX1, a gene that helps immune cells clear damaged DNA, helping to minimize scar tissue post heart attacks.

Tiny structures inside your cells keep your body alive by turning food into fuel. These structures, called mitochondria, ...

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” ...
