Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic ...

Just 10 minutes of exercise each day can halt bowel cancer growth and speed up DNA damage repair, a study has found.

Tardigrades were first discovered in the Eighteenth Century and are known to survive in some of Earth’s most inhospitable environments. “What we saw surprised us,” study co-author and University of ...

Genetic mutations which cause a debilitating hereditary kidney disease affecting children and young adults have been fixed in patient-derived kidney cells using a potentially game-changing DNA ...

As many of us embark on an exercise or gym routine for the new year, research reveals that just 10 minutes of intense ...

Scientists have developed a new CRISPR-based technology that could offer a safer approach to correcting genetic defects. The new 'soft' CRISPR approach makes use of natural DNA repair machinery, ...

ANN ARBOR--Proteins inside bacteria cells engage in "search-and-rescue"-type behavior to ferret out mismatched DNA and fix it to thwart dangerous mutations that can be associated with certain cancers, ...

Alcohol consumption leads to the formation of a toxic compound called acetaldehyde, which damages DNA. A research team from IOCB Prague has now described in detail how cells repair this damaged ...

Bacteria and mammals may use similar mechanisms in a major yet poorly understood DNA repair pathway, suggests a report in the October 22 Science. In theory, coauthor Aidan Doherty of the University of ...
