Researchers harness the power of the world’s most advanced supercomputers to simulate the inner workings of cellular ...

DNA damage and repair refers to the creation and correction of DNA lesions that threaten genome integrity. Because DNA replication errors or environmental agents that damage DNA can introduce ...

But as they age, they accumulate more and more DNA damage. Until now, it has been unclear why the cell's repair mechanisms do not fix the damage. Researchers led by Melina Schuh and Ninadini ...

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

Researchers at Georgia State University used the Summit supercomputer to study an elaborate molecular pathway called ...

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 ...

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

Their disrupted sleep cycles can lead to a reduced ability to repair oxidative DNA damage, which might, over time, increase their risk of developing serious health issues. In the Canadian study ...

Melatonin intervention linked to borderline significant increase in urinary 8-OH-dG, which is indicator of oxidative DNA damage repair capacity. (HealthDay News) — For night shift workers ...

Thus, a 30-year-old woman has egg cells that are just as old. The egg cell’s ability to repair damage in its DNA is crucial to ensure that it remains functional for a long time and does not die. To ...
