A new study shows that the DNA repair enzyme Polβ plays a vital role in protecting the developing brain from harmful ...

Researchers at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) reveal that metabolic enzymes known for their roles in energy production and nucleotide synthesis are taking on unexpected "second jobs ...

Technically, Pol-theta is an enzyme—a type of protein that speeds up chemical reactions, including those related to cell repair. DNA damage is a constant problem for cells, occurring millions of ...

Etoposide works by breaking DNA strands and blocking an enzyme which helps repair the damage. Surprisingly, inducing DNA damage resulted in reactive oxygen species being generated and accumulating ...

A research group led by the University of Osaka has discovered that the DNA repair enzyme Polβ plays a crucial role in ...

Topical DNA repair enzymes did not participate in the recovery of damaged skin, characterized by altered genes, following ultraviolet light exposure, according to a study.It is known that ...

We need repair enzymes like OGG1 to help maintain the status of our DNA, otherwise we’d have mutations or increased levels of DNA damage, leading to degenerative diseases for example.

Scientists at the Francis Crick Institute, in collaboration with Artios, have identified how an enzyme involved in DNA repair (POLQ), becomes vital to the survival of certain cancers, if the ...

A new study led by researchers at the University of Pittsburgh (Pitt) and UPMC Hillman Cancer Center has shown that an enzyme called PARP1 is involved in the repair of telomeres, the lengths of ...

An enzyme involved in DNA repair has been shown by researchers at the UCSD School of Medicine to also play a critical role in innate immunity, the body's first response against invading bacteria ...
