DNA can sustain serious injuries called double strand breaks, in which both strands of the helix snap. These breaks are among ...

The DNA inside our cells is constantly being damaged, and one of the worst kinds of damage is a double-strand break—when both ...

After two decades in the making, scientists have cracked the code on a drug that can repair DNA, setting the scene for a new ...

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

Cedars-Sinai scientists have created a new experimental drug called TY1 that helps the body repair damaged DNA and restore ...

An international research team has identified a human protein, ANKLE1, as the first DNA-cutting enzyme (nuclease) in mammals ...

Cedars-Sinai scientists have developed an experimental drug that repairs DNA and serves as a prototype for a new class of ...

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 ...

Cedars-Sinai researchers have created TY1, an experimental RNA-based drug that helps the body repair damaged DNA and restore injured tissue. The idea came from studying tiny molecular “messages” ...

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 ...

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 ...
