A breakthrough live-cell sensor makes DNA repair visible as it happens, unlocking new possibilities in biology and medicine.

The CRISPR gene editing technique has had a dramatic influence on biomedical research, and has even been applied to a few ...

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

Cancer research, drug safety testing and ageing biology may all gain a major boost from a new fluorescent sensor developed at ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...
