Researchers show that loss of the SPRTN enzyme lets DNA–protein crosslinks accumulate, leak DNA into the cytoplasm, activate ...

Although DNA is tightly packed and protected within the cell nucleus, it is constantly threatened by damage from normal ...

DNA is often described as the instruction manual for building the fundamental components of life. Proteins are helpers that aid DNA in carrying out essential processes such as replication, repair, and ...

Deinococcus radiodurans is renowned for its extraordinary resistance to ionising radiation and other environmental stresses. This bacterium employs a combination of passive and active mechanisms to ...

New research from the Kind Group at the Hubrecht Institute sheds light on how cells repair damaged DNA. For the first time, the team has mapped the activity of repair proteins in individual human ...

By Tarun Sai Lomte Blood-based DNA repair and stress-response signals reveal a brief molecular window preceding Parkinson’s ...

A team of researchers have identified a fundamental mechanism that links the 24-hour circadian cycle to the precise repair of DNA breaks. This study, conducted by researchers from the Andalusian ...

A major advance in cell biology has revealed how our cells safeguard their genetic material during one of the most vulnerable moments in their life cycle. The study identifies a specific protein ...
