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

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.

In a quiet lab at Utrecht University, researchers have built a tool that lets you watch one of life’s most serious crises ...

The DNA inside our cells is constantly being damaged, and one of the worst kinds of damage is a double-strand break-when both sides of the DNA helix are cut at once.

Scientists have developed TY1, the first-ever drug capable of repairing DNA and regenerating tissue damaged by heart attacks and inflammatory diseases.

Scientists have tapped into the Summit supercomputer to study an elaborate molecular pathway called nucleotide excision repair (NER). This research reveals how damaged strands of DNA are repaired ...

Cancer research, drug safety testing and ageing biology may all gain a major boost from a new fluorescent sensor developed at Utrecht University.

Salk researchers uncovered a genetic mechanism that directs DNA methylation in Arabidopsis. Instead of relying solely on existing epigenetic marks, CLASSY3 partners with REM transcription factors that ...

The findings may have important implications for diseases linked to mitochondrial dysfunction. A newly identified form of DNA damage inside mitochondria, the small structures that supply energy to our ...
