New live-cell DNA damage sensor lets scientists watch repair unfold in real time, potentially opening doors for cancer and aging research.

An elegant collaboration between researchers in the UK's two core-funded Medical Research Council Research Institutes, the Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) in London and the Laboratory of ...

Researchers have revealed the structural mechanisms of a major DNA repair pathway in human cells. The research, published today as a Reviewed Preprint in eLife, is described by the editors as a ...

Just as humans heal from injuries, bacteria survive by repairing their own damaged DNA. A team of Korean researchers has now ...

DNA-PK can help repair DNA double-stranded breaks in one of two ways. For breaks with missing information, it can target enzymes that can fill in missing nucleotides — sort of like a needle and thread ...

Following a double-strand DNA break, an enzyme called PARP1 helps hold the two strands together —like superglue— and creates a safe zone for other proteins to come repair the damage. We don’t exactly ...

A breakthrough DNA sensor from Utrecht University captures real-time damage and repair inside living cells and organisms. The ...

(Nanowerk News) A new study adds to an emerging, radically new picture of how bacterial cells continually repair faulty sections of their DNA. Such mistakes are frequent in code-copying process in ...

Artios Pharma, which looking for newer targets that, like PARP inhibitors, affect the way tumors fix themselves, said its ...
