Using optical tweezers, researchers at National Taiwan University have observed individual binding events in real time, ...

In such cases, DNA repair pathways - such a vital physiological process in normal life - can be hijacked by cancer cells who use them to resist the effects of chemotherapy drugs.

An international team of researchers led by Academia Sinica, Taiwan, has taken snapshots of the repair process with extremely high time resolution and combined them into a film sequence. The research ...

Scientists study a molecular machine that moves jumping genes in DNA, paving the way for a new gene editing tool beyond ...

A newly developed tool utilises AI to predict how cells repair their DNA after it is cut by gene editing tools such as CRISPR ...

Researchers have revealed the structural mechanisms of a major DNA repair pathway in human cells. The research, published today as a Reviewed Preprint in eLife, is described by the editors as a ...

DNA damage has been associated with aging and disease. Double-strand breaks are one of the worst forms of damage. New research shines a light on the repair process.

A new discovery offers hope for Huntington’s disease. This discovery provides hope that a DNA repair process may help slow or stop disease progression.

DNA lesions are repaired by a cut-and-remove process called nucleotide excision repair. An in vitro biochemically defined system has been developed in which six repair factors are sufficient to excise ...

An aging expert thinks humans can live for 20,000 years—and he might not be crazy. There's one major key to unlocking extreme ...
