Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is known to cause DNA damage, and while that damage may accumulate and eventually lead to diseases ...

Sunburns and aging skin are obvious effects of exposure to harmful UV rays, tobacco smoke and other carcinogens. But the effects aren't just skin deep. Inside the body, DNA is literally being torn ...

New findings show that the mitochondria powering our cells also control the ability of a DNA repair protein to suppress the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), which causes zombie-like ...

Mutations in BRCA2—a gene known to repair damaged DNA and suppress tumor formation—can predict an individual's predisposition ...

As our bodies grow, cells proliferate to form tissues, and cells frequently have to be repaired or replaced throughout life..

DNA repair proteins act like the body's editors, constantly finding and reversing damage to our genetic code. Researchers have long struggled to understand how cancer cells hijack one of these ...

A study led by Prof. Liu Feng from the Institute of Zoology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has identified a crucial role ...

Georgia State University researchers used simulations to study DNA repair mechanisms, focusing on the pre-incision complex in ...

Mutations in BRCA2 — a gene known to repair damaged DNA and suppress tumor formation — can predict an individuals' predisposition to develop breast cancer, ovarian, prostate, pancreatic, and other ...

p53 enhances DNA repair and suppresses cytoplasmic chromatin fragments and inflammation in senescent cells - ...

Melatonin supplementation may help offset the DNA damage associated with night shift work by boosting the body’s ability to ...
