Changes in genes have been linked to the development of different diseases for a while. However, it's not exactly clear what ...

Greenland sharks use a unique DNA repair process to protect their eyesight, revealing clues about longevity and retinal preservation.

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 ...

An elegant collaboration between researchers in the UK's two core-funded Medical Research Council Research Institutes, the Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) in London and the Laboratory of ...

Greenland sharks preserve vision for centuries through DNA repair, offering clues for treating age-related eye disease.

Ultraviolet (UV) rays from sunlight can cause DNA damage that leads to skin aging and cancer. Fortunately, our bodies have a highly efficient repair system capable of swiftly identifying and repairing ...

Researchers at The Institute of Cancer Research, London identified the CIP2A–TOPBP1 complex as a master regulator of DNA repair during mitosis, coordinating backup pathways that protect chromosomes ...

When DNA breaks, cells must repair it accurately to prevent harmful mutations. Researchers have discovered that during a key repair process called homologous recombination, the cell uses loops in its ...
