Whenever cells divide, there is a high risk of damage to the genetic material. After all, the cell has to duplicate its entire genetic material and copy billions of genetic letters before it divides.

New research from the Kind Group at the Hubrecht Institute sheds light on how cells repair damaged DNA. For the first time, the team has mapped the activity of repair proteins in individual human ...

Recent advancements in glycobiology have challenged the traditional understanding of molecular interactions, and a new study ...

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 ...

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 ...

Research, funded by NIH, focuses on stem cells to regenerate damaged glands.

Researchers with McMaster University have discovered that the protein mutated in patients with Huntington disease doesn't repair DNA as intended, impacting the ability of brain cells to heal ...
