Scientists searching for new ways to combat cancer think they may have uncovered a promising new lead in the DNA of the ...

Mitochondrial DNA has long been treated as a workhorse record of cellular history, but new research suggests it also hides a subtle and previously overlooked form of damage. By uncovering this cryptic ...

A breakthrough live-cell sensor makes DNA repair visible as it happens, unlocking new possibilities in biology and medicine.

Cancer research, drug safety testing and aging biology may all gain a major boost from a new fluorescent sensor developed at ...

Your DNA is continually damaged by sources both inside and outside your body. One especially severe form of damage called a double-strand break involves the severing of both strands of the DNA double ...

Scientists have created a live-cell DNA sensor that reveals how damage appears and disappears inside living cells, capturing ...

The sensor lets researchers watch DNA damage and repair as it happens in living cells and organisms, making studies possible.

New live-cell DNA damage sensor lets scientists watch repair unfold in real time, potentially opening doors for cancer and aging research.

Throughout the course of our lives, DNA can break in response to natural and environmental factors. However, our bodies have dedicated enzymes and pathways which can repair our broken DNA back ...

Researchers have discovered how a metabolite involved in repairing damaged DNA not only controls a person’s sensitivity to cancer therapies but can also protect healthy tissues from damage. The ...
