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

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

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

The DNA inside our cells is constantly being damaged, and one of the worst kinds of damage is a double-strand break—when both sides of the DNA helix are cut at once. Healthy cells can normally fix ...

Scientists searching for new ways to combat cancer think they may have uncovered a promising new lead in the DNA of the ...

A new fluorescent sensor is giving scientists an unprecedented view of how cells respond to DNA damage, capturing the repair process as it unfolds in real time. The tool, developed at Utrecht ...

Cancer research, drug safety testing and ageing biology may all gain a major boost from a new fluorescent sensor developed at Utrecht University. This new tool allows scientists to watch DNA damage ...

The Infosys Prize 2025 celebrates six scholars who are changing the way the world thinks. Their pathbreaking work spans economics, engineering, humanities, life sciences, mathematics and physical ...

Our bodies are experts at looking after our DNA and are continuously monitoring for any damage that needs to be repaired to keep us healthy. Parts of DNA that are very repetitive, like the sequence ...

Manhattan: Last month, The News reported on a poll of American Jews. Sixty-one percent thought that Israel committed war crimes in its two-year murderous rampage in Gaza. Another 39% called it ...

The bowhead whale’s remarkable lifespan and low cancer risk stem from a finely tuned DNA repair system driven by a unique protein, CIRBP. Scientists found that this mechanism not only preserves the ...

A clump of proteins seems to be in charge of the level of DNA repair that takes place in our bodies, determining how fast mutations accumulate in our cells over a lifetime – and might thus affect our ...
