Double-strand breaks (DSBs) in DNA are challenging to repair. Cells employ at least three DSB-repair mechanisms, with a preference for non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) over homologous recombination ...
53BP1 accumulates at DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) and is implicated in non-homologous end joining (NHEJ), but the genetic interplay of 53BP1 with the NHEJ pathway (e.g., DNA-PKcs) is poorly ...
Among the central risk factors in early-stage oncology investing is the distance separating laboratory findings from clinical reality. Onco-Innovations has worked methodically to close that gap. The ...
New research sheds light on how cells repair damaged DNA. For the first time, the team has mapped the activity of repair proteins in individual human cells. The study demonstrates how these proteins ...
Scientists have discovered that a gene normally considered a DNA-protecting "good guy" can become dangerous when cells make too much of it. The gene, EXO1, acts like molecular scissors that help ...
Scientists discovered a protein that helps plants repair DNA damage from sunlight, which could improve future crop gene ...
