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

Internal body clocks, vital for sleep & health, are linked to DNA repair. Research shows a protein, 6–4phr, manages both DNA ...
Inside every human cell, six feet of DNA folds into a nucleus that is only a few micrometers wide, yet still manages to switch genes on and off with exquisite precision. The latest work on ...
