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

Every time a cell copies its DNA, parts of the genome are exposed and vulnerable to damage or errors. Molecular biologist ...

The Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science has developed an ultrasensitive immunoassay-based analytical platform that can detect and quantify trace amounts of "Small Excised Damaged DNA ...

Migrating newborn neurons suffer routine double-strand DNA breaks from physical stress during brain development.

Base editing, the process used to make the changes, only nicks one strand of DNA, avoiding the major DNA errors that made ...

Researchers have captured the first atomic-level views of human SMUG1, a key enzyme involved in repairing damaged DNA.

Newborn nerve cells must squeeze through crowded, narrow spaces—through dense tissue, past other cells, and between fibers—to ...

Researchers have discovered that a gene normally responsible for repairing damaged DNA may actually contribute to ...

As newborn neurons make their way through the developing brain, they must squeeze through incredibly tight spaces to reach their final destinations. Researchers discovered that this physical journey ...

Scientists from the Institute of Integrated Cellular and Material Sciences at Kyoto University, together with colleagues, ...

Scientists found a protein that may help tumors repair DNA damage, revealing a new challenge for cancer treatment.
