DNA is often described as the instruction manual for building the fundamental components of life. Proteins are helpers that aid DNA in carrying out essential processes such as replication, repair, and ...

By Tarun Sai Lomte Blood-based DNA repair and stress-response signals reveal a brief molecular window preceding Parkinson’s ...

Although DNA is tightly packed and protected within the cell nucleus, it is constantly threatened by damage from normal ...

Red arrows indicate the DNA repair pathways that are known to aid bacterial survival as persisters and gamblers in the presence of fluoroquinolones. Blue color arrow indicates downregulation, while ...

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 ...

Researchers show that loss of the SPRTN enzyme lets DNA–protein crosslinks accumulate, leak DNA into the cytoplasm, activate ...

Brain cells receive sensory inputs from the outside world and send signals throughout the body telling organs and muscles what to do. Although neurons comprise only 10% of brain cells, their ...

DNA can sustain serious injuries called double strand breaks, in which both strands of the helix snap. These breaks are among the most dangerous forms of DNA damage and immediately trigger the cell's ...
