Two teams of researchers have uncovered microscopic details of how a protein called photolyase uses light to repair DNA. The discovery could help develop sustainable technologies for chemical ...

Naked mole-rats are one of nature's most extraordinary creatures. These burrowing rodents can live for up to 37 years, around ...

Scientists discovered four protein changes that help naked mole rats repair DNA faster. These small tweaks may explain their ...

New research sheds light on how cells repair damaged DNA. For the first time, the team has mapped the activity of repair proteins in individual human cells. The study demonstrates how these proteins ...

The findings offer potential insights into why naked mole-rats exhibit remarkable resistance to a wide spectrum of ...

Organisms like eukaryotes and prokaryotes have sophisticated mechanisms of DNA repair after damage. Failure of repairing the DNA damage is considered to be the cause of induction of cell death, ...

Researchers have uncovered answers that provide the detail to explain two specific DNA repair processes that have long been in question. Researchers from the University of Birmingham have uncovered ...

When a key protein regulator dials down DNA repair mechanisms, our cells accumulate more mutations, which may cause us to age ...
