Every time a cell divides, it must copy its DNA with extraordinary precision. But this process is constantly challenged by ...

A protein best known for driving cancer growth also helps damaged tumor cells survive by repairing their DNA, according to a ...

A newly discovered molecule disrupts cancer cells’ ability to repair DNA by triggering the breakdown of key proteins. Cancer ...

When injured, cells have well-regulated responses to promote healing. These include a long-studied self-destruction process that cleans up dead and damaged cells as well as a more recently identified ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature, researchers found that the recruitment of neurons to memory circuits is preceded by a cascade of molecular events induced during learning, which ...

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is known to cause DNA damage, and while that damage may accumulate and eventually lead to diseases like skin cancer, cells also have repair mechanisms that can fix ...

Researchers have captured the most detailed structural images yet of a DNA repair process that helps BRCA-mutated cancer cells survive, revealing how the RAD52 protein and its yeast ancestor Mgm101 ...
