DNA is the blueprint of the human body. However, tens of thousands of DNA lesions occur in our bodies every day. In ...

Researchers have captured the first atomic structures of human SMUG1, an enzyme that helps cells repair damaged DNA. The ...

A new study suggests melatonin supplements may help night shift workers boost their body's DNA repair processes, potentially offsetting some of the damage linked to working overnight. The findings are ...

Scientists have uncovered a critical role for rapid DNA repair in maintaining genome stability. A new study reveals that repair of double-strand breaks (DSBs) in nuclear DNA in plants serves as a ...

Although DNA is tightly packed and protected within the cell nucleus, it is constantly threatened by damage from normal metabolic processes or external stressors such as radiation or chemical ...

A new review highlights how human evolution has shaped the presence of pathogenic variations in DNA damage repair (DDR) genes, offering a new perspective on why modern populations face increased ...

A new study developed a mineralized DNA hydrogel that combines immune regulation with sustained bone regeneration.

Homologous recombination is a DNA repair mechanism that counteracts double-stranded breaks in DNA. Researchers at Kindai University have recently revealed how the Sae2 protein coordinates with the ...

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 ...
