A new study of the bizarre naked mole rat shows that the animals have evolved a DNA repair mechanism that could explain their ...

Researchers in China have determined to identify the genetic basis for the naked mole-rats’ increased longevity.

Researchers at the University of Toronto have discovered a DNA repair mechanism that advances understanding of how human cells stay healthy, and which could lead to new treatments for cancer and ...

Researchers have discovered a DNA repair mechanism that advances understanding of how human cells stay healthy, and which could lead to new treatments for cancer and premature aging. Researchers at ...

The human genome is contained within the nucleus of cells. The genome is well protected, but many things can cause DNA damage, including aging, some drugs, and environmental factors like UV rays or ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have identified key factors in the mechanism behind DNA repair in our bodies. For the first time, they showed that the "proofreading" portion of the DNA ...

Homologous recombination is a DNA repair mechanism that counteracts double-stranded breaks in DNA. Researchers at Kindai University have recently revealed how the Sae2 protein coordinates with the ...

DNA repair is essential for the maintenance of genomic stability and its failure can lead to human disease. Various DNA repair systems exist, such as base excision repair, nucleotide excision repair, ...
