A new study shows that cancer damages its own DNA by pushing key genes to work too hard. Researchers found that the most ...

If severe DNA damage is not repaired, the consequences for the health of cells and tissues are dramatic. A study led by ...

Although DNA is tightly packed and protected within the cell nucleus, it is constantly threatened by damage from normal ...

In a quiet lab at Utrecht University, researchers have built a tool that lets you watch one of life’s most serious crises unfold in real time. Inside every cell, DNA breaks, repairs, and sometimes ...

A new fluorescent sensor is giving scientists an unprecedented view of how cells respond to DNA damage, capturing the repair process as it unfolds in real time. The tool, developed at Utrecht ...

DNA is often described as the instruction manual for building the fundamental components of life. Proteins are helpers that aid DNA in carrying out essential processes such as replication, repair, and ...

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 ...

Overcoming tumor resistance to chemotherapy drugs has long been a challenge for oncology clinicians and researchers. Now, a ...

Whenever cells divide, there is a high risk of damage to the genetic material. After all, the cell has to duplicate its entire genetic material and copy billions of genetic letters before it divides.

As people age, their immune systems deteriorate. This makes them more susceptible to infections and can mean that vaccines ...
