The class of drugs known as DNA Damage Response inhibitors, which work by blocking cancer cells’ ability to repair their own damaged DNA, is expanding rapidly beyond its original anchor, the PARP ...
Similar to the way DNA damage can contribute to human diseases such as cancer, it can also disrupt growth, development and ...
Hyperreactivity of the gene responsible for DNA repair may indicate a hidden vulnerability of oncological diseases and help ...
Researchers from the MRC Protein Phosphorylation and Ubiquitylation Unit at the University of Dundee, together with collaborators from ETH Zürich, the Malopolska Center of Biotechnology and the ...
Cancer cells often survive treatment by fixing the DNA damage that therapy is meant to cause. Researchers found that UNI418 ...
Newborn nerve cells must squeeze through crowded, narrow spaces—through dense tissue, past other cells, and between fibers—to ...
Salk Institute scientists identify YAF9B as a protein activated by DNA damage, acting like an emergency responder to ...
Scientists have discovered that a gene normally considered a DNA-protecting "good guy" can become dangerous when cells make too much of it. The gene, EXO1, acts like molecular scissors that help ...
Scientists discovered a protein that helps plants repair DNA damage from sunlight, which could improve future crop gene ...
Targeted DNA editing by CRISPR technology has great potential for applications in biotechnology and gene therapy. However, precise gene editing remains a challenge largely due to insufficient control ...
Migrating newborn neurons suffer routine double-strand DNA breaks from physical stress during brain development.
