The small study in patients with a rare disorder that causes liver and lung damage showed the potential for precisely targeted infusions. By Gina Kolata Researchers have corrected a disease ...

Their disrupted sleep cycles can lead to a reduced ability to repair oxidative DNA damage, which might, over time, increase their risk of developing serious health issues. In the Canadian study ...

A study, which was published in the journal Occupational & Environmental Medicine, found that melatonin seems to help actually some people repair DNA damage while sleeping. As you may know ...

But as they age, they accumulate more and more DNA damage. Until now, it has been unclear why the cell's repair mechanisms do not fix the damage. Researchers led by Melina Schuh and Ninadini ...

Credit: Scripps Research A new structural blueprint paves the way for improved targeting of cancer cells, particularly those with BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations. DNA repair proteins function as the body’s ...

Melatonin intervention linked to borderline significant increase in urinary 8-OH-dG, which is indicator of oxidative DNA damage repair capacity. HealthDay News — For night shift workers, melatonin ...

DNA repair proteins act like the body's editors, constantly finding and reversing damage to our genetic code. Researchers have long struggled to understand how cancer cells hijack one of these ...

Human polymerase θ helicase positions DNA microhomologies for double-strand break repair. Nature Structural & Molecular Biology , 2025; DOI: 10.1038/s41594-025-01514-8 Cite This Page : ...

This process is mutagenic and can give rise to cancer. LA JOLLA, CA—DNA repair proteins act like the body’s editors, constantly finding and reversing damage to our genetic code. Researchers ...

A research team has identified NEAT1, a long non-coding RNA, as a key player in DNA repair. This discovery links RNA metabolism to genome stability and opens up potential new cancer treatments. Credit ...

Recent research has begun to clarify the enzymology of DNA DSB repair pathways and has indicated key roles for these pathways in preventing mutations, chromosomal instability and cancer.
