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

The tiny little powerhouses of our cells, the mitochondria, are unique among organelles because they carry their own tiny ...

Researchers at The Institute of Cancer Research, London identified the CIP2A–TOPBP1 complex as a master regulator of DNA repair during mitosis, coordinating backup pathways that protect chromosomes ...

A previously unknown type of DNA damage in the mitochondria, the tiny power plants inside our cells, could shed light on how our bodies sense and respond to stress. The findings of the UC ...

When DNA breaks, cells must repair it accurately to prevent harmful mutations. Researchers have discovered that during a key repair process called homologous recombination, the cell uses loops in its ...

A new hereditary condition has been discovered that affects patients’ ability to repair DNA – leaving them both at greater risk of developing blood cancer, and unable to repair some of the damage ...

And it doesn't stop at heart tissue damage repair. “By enhancing DNA repair, we can heal tissue damage that occurs during a heart attack,” Ibrahim said. “We are particularly excited because TY1 also ...

Tardigrades, often called water bears or moss piglets, are microscopic creatures that can survive just about anything: boiling heat, freezing cold and crushing pressure. 2 In fact, tardigrades are the ...
