Huntington's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that is usually fatal about 15 to 20 years after a patient is diagnosed. It is known to be caused by an aberrant repetitive sequence (CAG) in the ...

A new UCLA Health study has discovered in mouse models that genes associated with repairing mismatched DNA are critical in eliciting damages to neurons that are most vulnerable in Huntington's disease ...

Researchers from the Hubrecht Institute and their collaborators at other institutions have used a protein from zebrafish dubbed Hmga1 which plays a key role in heart regeneration, to reactivate heart ...

Harvard study shows your genes only repair your body when you move - discover why sitting is literally shutting down your ...

A new study shows that cancer damages its own DNA by pushing key genes to work too hard. Researchers found that the most ...

Mistakes in mismatch repair genes, which occur in sporadic and hereditary forms of colorectal, endometrial, stomach, biliary tract, pancreas, ovarian and small intestine cancer, disable cells' ability ...

Identification of variants influences treatment decisions. Inhibitors of the poly-ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) system, a pathway for repairing single-stranded DNA breaks, are recommended for tumors ...
