If severe DNA damage is not repaired, the consequences for the health of cells and tissues are dramatic. A study led by ...

A clinical-stage oncology company developing targeted therapies that exploit DNA damage response (DDR) vulnerabilities in ...

Particle therapy, including proton and carbon ion radiotherapy, represents a major advancement in cancer treatment due to its ...

The findings, presented by Enrique Gonzalez-Duran and Ralph Bock from the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Plant Physiology, shed new light on endosymbiotic gene transfer — an ongoing evolutionary ...

The human genome consists of 3 billion base pairs, and when a cell divides, it takes about seven hours to complete making a copy of its DNA. That's almost 120,000 base pairs per second. At that ...

If severe DNA damage is not repaired, the consequences for the health of cells and tissues are dramatic. A study led by researchers at Goethe University Frankfurt, part of the Rhine-Main University ...

DNA can sustain serious injuries called double strand breaks, in which both strands of the helix snap. These breaks are among the most dangerous forms of DNA damage and immediately trigger the cell's ...

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

You can always be judged by your scars. This is the idea that sums up what researchers at Spanish National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO) claim is one of the new breakthroughs in basic and biomedical ...

Cancer research, drug safety testing and ageing 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 ...
