An elegant collaboration between researchers in the UK's two core-funded Medical Research Council Research Institutes, the Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) in London and the Laboratory of ...

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 ...

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

A new study in fruit flies describes how an animal's gut reacts differently to beneficial microbes versus harmful pathogens. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news updates. A pathway ...

Genome instability can cause numerous diseases. Cells have effective DNA repair mechanisms at their disposal. A research team has now gained new insights into the DNA damage response. Whenever cells ...

“Our lab is generally interested in discovering and characterizing previously unknown or poorly understood factors that are essential for genome maintenance. This is particularly important in the ...

Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology (DGIST; President Kunwoo Lee) announced that a research team led by Professor Younghoon Kee from the Department of New Biology has successfully ...

Yuan He aims to understand how cells read and repair their genomes. His research encompasses two primary areas: transcription, in which genetic information is copied from DNA into messenger RNA, and ...

New research reveals that triggering a cell’s DNA damage response could be a promising avenue for developing novel treatments against several rare but devastating viruses for which no antiviral ...
