DSBs are repaired by two mechanisms called non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) and homologous recombination (HR). NHEJ is the predominant DNA repair mechanism in human somatic cells and is error-prone.

Published online May 16 in the journal Cell, the report describes the molecular mechanism behind a DNA repair pathway that counters the mistaken inclusion of a certain type of molecular building ...

Better understanding of the mechanisms involved in DNA repair may pave the way for developing inhibitors to improve the effectiveness of radiation therapy.

Scientists are still investigating these mechanisms to fully comprehend how these DNA repair processes are managed. Researchers recently identified a new mechanism that controls DNA repair.

DNA integrity is always under attack from environmental agents like skin cancer-causing UV rays. How do DNA repair mechanisms detect and repair damaged DNA, and what happens when they fail?

There are two general classes of DNA repair; the direct reversal of the chemical process generating the damage and the replacement of damaged nucleotides.

(A) Common DNA damaging agents (top), examples of DNA lesions induced by these agents (middle), and the most relevant DNA repair mechanism responsible for the removal of the lesions (bottom). (B ...

New regulatory cues facilitate cellular decisions of the DNA repair mechanism to be adopted in the event of double strand damage.
