Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic ...

Researchers at The Institute of Cancer Research, London identified the CIP2A–TOPBP1 complex as a master regulator of DNA repair during mitosis, coordinating backup pathways that protect chromosomes ...

Greenland sharks use a unique DNA repair process to protect their eyesight, revealing clues about longevity and retinal preservation.

A large genetic study shows that many people carry DNA sequences that slowly expand as they get older. Common genetic ...

An analysis of genetic data from over 900,000 people shows that certain stretches of DNA, made up of short sequences repeated ...

Unlike most cell types, which continuously divide, neurons have to last for the life of the organism. How do they do that? One way neurons stay healthy is by repairing their DNA as they transcribe it.

Jellyfish and anemones sleep to repair neuronal DNA damage Jellyfish and sea anemones extend sleep when neuronal DNA is ...

Analyzing genomes from over 900,000 people, researchers found that short DNA repeats expand and destabilize with age. Common ...

In jellyfish and sea anemones, neurons accumulate DNA damage while animals are awake and repair that damage during sleep.
