The DNA inside our cells is constantly being damaged, and one of the worst kinds of damage is a double-strand break—when both ...

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

Cedars-Sinai researchers have created TY1, an experimental RNA-based drug that helps the body repair damaged DNA and restore injured tissue. The idea came from studying tiny molecular “messages” ...

Cedars-Sinai scientists have created a new experimental drug called TY1 that helps the body repair damaged DNA and restore ...

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

Following a double-strand DNA break, an enzyme called PARP1 helps hold the two strands together —like superglue— and creates a safe zone for other proteins to come repair the damage. We don’t exactly ...

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 ...

Two teams of researchers have uncovered microscopic details of how a protein called photolyase uses light to repair DNA. The discovery could help develop sustainable technologies for chemical ...

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