Proteins PIF1 and PCNA gather at sites of DNA damage in SETX-deficient cells, indicating activation of the BIR repair system. LA JOLLA, CA—The DNA inside our cells is constantly being damaged, and one ...

DNA repair is essential for the maintenance of genomic stability and its failure can lead to human disease. Various DNA repair systems exist, such as base excision repair, nucleotide excision repair, ...

A new study shows that cancer damages its own DNA by pushing key genes to work too hard. Researchers found that the most ...

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 at the University of Bath have discovered how DNA damage caused by a faulty DNA protection and repair system can lead to neurodegenerative disorders such as motor neuron disease (MND).

A new study uncovers how working at 35,000 feet may disrupt DNA repair and immune function in flight attendants, offering fresh insights into the health risks faced by cabin crews and the urgent need ...

The bowhead whale’s remarkable lifespan and low cancer risk stem from a finely tuned DNA repair system driven by a unique protein, CIRBP. Scientists found that this mechanism not only preserves the ...
