A new experimental procedure developed by researchers at Yale School of Medicine could help scientists better understand how ...

Scientists have developed a treatment that 'reawakens' heart muscle cells so they start to divide and help repair damaged ...

A study in human cells reveals that the DNA repair enzyme MUTYH triggers untargeted action-at-a-distance mutations along the ...

A double-strand DNA break (DSB) occurs or arises when both strands of the DNA duplex are severed, often as the result of ionizing radiation. They are particularly deleterious as the DNA ends can ...

A review in Cellular Oncology examines how human single-stranded DNA-binding proteins hSSB1 and hSSB2 coordinate DNA repair pathways and preserve genome integrity.

Researchers at Kanazawa University and the National Institute of Genetics in Japan have used high-speed atomic force ...

Homologous recombination (HR) is a critical repair pathway involving numerous proteins that ensure error-free DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) repair. Dysfunction in HR components can compromise genome ...

A study led by the Cell Cycle and Cancer Group at the Vall d'Hebron Institute of Oncology (VHIO) has identified a vulnerability in liver cancer that could guide the development of new therapies. The ...
