Guarding genes against damage is a crucial and complex job, so it’s to be expected that cells have several mechanisms to repair DNA breakages, each providing support under different circumstances. For ...
Patients often experience functional decline after an ischemic stroke, especially due to the brain's resistance to regenerate after damage. Yet, there is still potential for recovery as surviving ...
A research team has successfully identified a novel DNA damage repair pathway in human cells. This study is the first to discover that proteins present in the nuclear membrane of cells directly ...
A team of international researchers at the University of Oxford (Oxford) and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore), has discovered a new process for repairing damaged DNA that is ...
Researchers at the University of Oxford and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have uncovered the mechanism by which cells identify and repair a highly toxic form of DNA ...
Naked mole-rats are one of nature's most extraordinary creatures. These burrowing rodents can live for up to 37 years, around ten times longer than relatives of a similar size. But what is the secret ...
