The DNA inside our cells is constantly being damaged, and one of the worst kinds of damage is a double-strand break—when both ...

The dna inside our cells almost exclusively twists in one direction, but the reason for this might be out of this world!

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

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 cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication process can cause alterations in genomic DNA, promoting cellular ageing, cancer, ...

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

Small, cancer-associated DNA circles "hitchhike" on chromosomes during cell division to spread efficiently to daughter cells ...

With a new study in the journal Cell, researchers at Stanford University and Stockholm University have contributed to ...

Researchers have discovered that tiny cell structures called primary cilia help repair DNA in bile duct cells, opening new ...

DNA nanostructures assembled in ionic liquids instead of magnesium become stable in biological conditions and bind ...

About 100,000 people in the U.S. have sickle cell disease, a condition that primarily affects people of color, the CDC says.
