While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells' in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research shows. This means that ...

For the first time, scientists have proven tanning beds are more dangerous than the sun and cause widespread DNA damage.

The researchers focused on Fanconi anemia, a rare inherited disorder characterized by a failure to repair specific types of ...

A dissertation study at the University of Jyväskylä (Finland) developed two-dimensional fishnet-like structures from DNA ...

Fluorogenic DNA aptamers produce light only in the correct structural state, enabling programmable molecular logic, biosensing, DNA origami integrity reporting, and reusable mRNA detection through ...

Scripps Research scientists have discovered how some tumors endure DNA damage, revealing a potential new way to target them. The DNA inside our cells is constantly exposed to damage, and one of the ...

DNA–protein cross-links (DPCs) represent a severe form of DNA damage that can disrupt essential chromatin-based processes.

A cutting-edge therapy using base-edited immune cells is offering a major breakthrough for patients with one of the toughest ...
