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

New research led by researchers at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), School of Medicine, reveals a novel map that depicts the human body’s system for addressing and repairing DNA ...

Cedars-Sinai scientists have created a new experimental drug called TY1 that helps the body repair damaged DNA and restore ...

Cedars-Sinai researchers have created TY1, an experimental RNA-based drug that helps the body repair damaged DNA and restore injured tissue. The idea came from studying tiny molecular “messages” ...

Scientists have created a live-cell DNA sensor that reveals how damage appears and disappears inside living cells, capturing ...

When DNA breaks, cells must repair it accurately to prevent harmful mutations. Researchers have discovered that during a key repair process called homologous recombination, the cell uses loops in its ...

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

Since its breakthrough development more than a decade ago, CRISPR has revolutionized DNA editing across a broad range of fields. Now scientists are applying the technology's immense potential to human ...

Birds do it. Bees do it. Anything with even a rudimentary nervous system does it. Sleep is a crucial biological phase, but exactly why we need it remains mysterious. Now a study has uncovered a new ...
