After two decades in the making, scientists have cracked the code on a drug that can repair DNA, setting the scene for a new ...

When DNA breaks, cells must repair it accurately to prevent harmful mutations. Researchers have discovered that during a key ...

A breakthrough live-cell sensor makes DNA repair visible as it happens, unlocking new possibilities in biology and medicine.

Cedars-Sinai scientists have created a new experimental drug called TY1 that helps the body repair damaged DNA and restore ...

In a quiet lab at Utrecht University, researchers have built a tool that lets you watch one of life’s most serious crises ...

Scientists have developed TY1, the first-ever drug capable of repairing DNA and regenerating tissue damaged by heart attacks and inflammatory diseases.

Sunburns and aging skin are obvious effects of exposure to harmful UV rays, tobacco smoke and other carcinogens. But the effects aren't just skin deep. Inside the body, DNA is literally being torn ...

Scientists have discovered a protein that can directly halt DNA damage. Better yet, a new study shows it appears to be 'plug and play', theoretically able to slot into any organism, making it a ...

Salk researchers uncovered a genetic mechanism that directs DNA methylation in Arabidopsis. Instead of relying solely on existing epigenetic marks, CLASSY3 partners with REM transcription factors that ...

The Nobel prize in chemistry has gone to research showing how DNA fixes the damage that can cause cancer and premature ageing. Tomas Lindahl of the Francis Crick Institute in Hertfordshire, UK, Paul ...
