Some DNA damage evades repair for years, causing repeated mutations during cell division, increasing cancer risk, especially ...

We have all been told to avoid direct sunlight between 12 noon and 3 p.m., seek out shade and put on sunscreen and a hat.

While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells' in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research shows. This means that ...

DNA damage and repair refers to the creation and correction of DNA lesions that threaten genome integrity. Because DNA replication errors or environmental agents that damage DNA can introduce ...

Brain cells receive sensory inputs from the outside world and send signals throughout the body telling organs and muscles ...

How do tumor cells die after radiotherapy- one of the most important type of cancer treatment- is one of the big mystery in ...

While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells’ in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research shows. This means ...

The DNA damage response is a network of cellular pathways that sense, signal and repair DNA lesions. Surveillance proteins that monitor DNA integrity can activate cell cycle checkpoints and DNA ...
