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 ...

A new study adds to an emerging, radically new picture of how bacterial cells continually repair faulty sections of their DNA. A new study adds to an emerging, radically new picture of how bacterial ...

New research from the Kind Group at the Hubrecht Institute sheds light on how cells repair damaged DNA. For the first time, the team has mapped the activity of repair proteins in individual human ...

Anglia Ruskin University (ARU) provides funding as a member of The Conversation UK. Sleep isn’t just a luxury, it’s a vital process that helps our bodies repair and rejuvenate. Researchers have ...

Following a double-strand DNA break, an enzyme called PARP1 helps hold the two strands together —like superglue— and creates a safe zone for other proteins to come repair the damage. We don’t exactly ...

A new study adds to an emerging, radically new picture of how bacterial cells continually repair faulty sections of their DNA. Published online May 16 in the journal Cell, the report describes the ...
