A new LUMC study has changed our understanding of how cells work. Researchers have discovered that the CFAP20 protein acts as ...

A University of Iowa-led study has revealed the unexpected structure adopted by the DNA repair protein RAD52 as it binds and protects replicating DNA in dividing cells. This new structural and ...

Could this mark a shift in how we think about cancer therapy? At least in the laboratory, evidence suggests it may be . An ...

An international research team has succeeded in deciphering a key mechanism that controls the growth of pancreatic cancers.

The human genome has to be carefully organized so it will fit inside of the nuclei of cells, while also remaining accessible ...

When two defective gene variants combine, normal protein function can sometimes be restored.

DNA–protein cross-links (DPCs) represent a severe form of DNA damage that can disrupt essential chromatin-based processes. Among them, DNA–histone cross-links (DHCs) occur frequently within ...

A protein found in our cells has emerged as a secret weapon against biological aging, acting like a glue to repair damaged DNA and ward off neurological degeneration including that seen in motor ...
