Two studies provide a radically new picture of how bacterial cells continually repair damaged sections (lesions) in their DNA. Two studies provide a radically new picture of how bacterial cells ...

DNA can be damaged by normal cellular processes as well as external factors such as UV radiation and chemicals. Such damage can lead to breaks in the DNA strand. If DNA damage is not properly repaired ...

A research team has successfully identified a novel DNA damage repair pathway in human cells. This study is the first to discover that proteins present in the nuclear membrane of cells directly ...

Cancer research, drug safety testing and aging 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 and ...

Using comparative molecular biology with human cGAS – which actually inhibits DNA repair – the scientists found that the naked mole-rat's enzyme has four key changes that facilitate the important work ...

A new study published in Science Translational Medicine by researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center ...

Biochemistry is the study of the chemicals and chemistry of living organisms. Biochemists study biomolecules (such as proteins, RNA, DNA, sugars, and lipids), their applications and interactions in ...

Researchers are reporting new technology that not only repairs heart muscle cells in mice but also regenerates them following a heart attack, or myocardial infarction as its medically known.
