What if a new combination of cancer drugs could sound an alarm, alerting the body's immune system to invoke a targeted ...

The DNA damage response (DDR) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae encompasses a tightly regulated network that senses lesions, halts cell‐cycle progression and deploys specialised repair pathways to preserve ...

Whenever cells divide, there is a high risk of damage to the genetic material. After all, the cell has to duplicate its entire genetic material and copy billions of genetic letters before it divides.

Similar to the way DNA damage can contribute to human diseases such as cancer, it can also disrupt growth, development and ...

Cancer cells often survive treatment by fixing the DNA damage that therapy is meant to cause. Researchers found that UNI418 ...

A research team from the University of California (UC), Irvine, has revealed a previously unknown mechanism that triggers an inflammatory immune response in cells when their DNA is damaged. 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 discovered a protein that helps plants repair DNA damage from sunlight, which could improve future crop gene ...

Salk Institute scientists identify YAF9B as a protein activated by DNA damage, acting like an emergency responder to ...
