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

Research shows synthetic chromosomes can be transferred to human cells with potential to improve viral resistance ...

Cr yo-ET captured dozens of projection images of each slice from different angles. Computational processing then stitched ...

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

Cancer isn't just about broken genes—it's about broken architecture. Imagine a city where roads suddenly vanish, cutting off ...

When cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication process can cause alterations in genomic DNA, promoting cellular ageing, cancer, ...

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

When DNA breaks, cells must repair it accurately to prevent harmful mutations. Researchers have discovered that during a key ...

Researchers have discovered that tiny cell structures called primary cilia help repair DNA in bile duct cells, opening new possibilities for treating bile duct and other cancers with limited options.

With a new study in the journal Cell, researchers at Stanford University and Stockholm University have contributed to ...

Small, cancer-associated DNA circles "hitchhike" on chromosomes during cell division to spread efficiently to daughter cells ...
