Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic ...

The tiny little powerhouses of our cells, the mitochondria, are unique among organelles because they carry their own tiny ...

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 ...

The study looked at blood samples from 30 overweight adults taken before and immediately after a max-effort cycling workout, which lasted about 10 to 12 minutes. They then exposed human colon cancer ...

Alcohol consumption leads to the formation of a toxic compound called acetaldehyde, which damages DNA. A research team from IOCB Prague has now described in detail how cells repair this damaged ...

Just 10 minutes of exercise each day can halt bowel cancer growth and speed up DNA damage repair, a study has found.

Cancer research, drug safety testing and ageing biology may all gain a major boost from a new fluorescent sensor developed at Utrecht University. This new tool allows scientists to watch DNA damage ...

A new study published in Science Translational Medicine by researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center ...
