Newborn mice neurons can snap both DNA strands to migrate, then repair the breaks within a day. The process may be a normal part of brain development.

Cancer research, drug safety testing and aging biology may all gain a major boost from a new fluorescent sensor developed at Utrecht University. This new tool allows scientists to watch DNA damage and ...

New research sheds light on how cells repair damaged DNA. For the first time, the team has mapped the activity of repair proteins in individual human cells. The study demonstrates how these proteins ...

Researchers have discovered a DNA repair mechanism that advances understanding of how human cells stay healthy, and which could lead to new treatments for cancer and premature aging. Researchers at ...

Accumulation of DNA damage in the brain's neurons may contribute to the development of Alzheimer's disease. New research in ...

A research team has successfully identified a novel DNA damage repair pathway in human cells. This study is the first to discover that proteins present in the nuclear membrane of cells directly ...

A new test provides a much more complete picture of DNA than current standard diagnostics and leads to a diagnosis more often. The test can replace 15 other tests, making it faster and more efficient.
