But cells have a "DNA repair kit" of enzymes that can correct those errors at a rate matching that at which they occur.

A research team has successfully identified a novel DNA damage repair pathway in human cells. This study is the first to ...

New research sheds light on how cells repair damaged DNA. For the first time, the team has mapped the activity of repair proteins in individual human cells. The study demonstrates how these ...

New research from the Kind Group at the Hubrecht Institute sheds light on how cells repair damaged DNA. For the first time, the team has mapped the activity of repair proteins in individual human ...

Researchers from the University of Birmingham have uncovered answers that provide the detail to explain two specific DNA repair processes that have long been in question.

Researchers have mapped the activity of repair proteins in individual human cells. The study demonstrates how these proteins collaborate in so-called "hubs" to repair DNA damage.

Researchers have uncovered answers that provide the detail to explain two specific DNA repair processes that have long been in question.

This Collection welcomes original research on DNA damage and repair, from molecular mechanisms of DNA to the inflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

RNA’s Surprising Role in DNA Repair New insights could lead to improved treatments for cancer and other diseases. Francesca Storici and her research team discovered a surprising role for RNA in DNA ...

A new discovery offers hope for Huntington’s disease. This discovery provides hope that a DNA repair process may help slow or stop disease progression.

DNA repair is essential for the maintenance of genomic stability and its failure can lead to human disease. Various DNA repair systems exist, such as base excision repair, nucleotide excision ...

DNA repair enzymes, such as the ligase shown here that joins broken DNA strands, scan replicating DNA in the nucleus. Particularly difficult cases are now known to be transported to the inner edge ...
