McMillan’s lab aims to further characterize the role of SSB as a first responder and the proteins that are part of the crisis ...

A cell's ability to repair its damaged DNA is one of the most fundamental processes in biology, helping protect us from ...

A new fluorescent sensor is giving scientists an unprecedented view of how cells respond to DNA damage, capturing the repair process as it unfolds in real time. The tool, developed at Utrecht ...

A study of how cells repair radiation-induced genetic damage offers clues to why some people develop cancer early in life or ...

Treating inherited diseases is one of the greatest challenges in modern medicine. In the future, targeted gene corrections at ...

Our cells accumulate DNA mistakes as we age, eating less slowed that process in mice Every cell carries a molecular record of time. As DNA is copied, repaired and exposed to damage, mutations ...

Cancer research, drug safety testing and aging biology may all gain a major boost from a new fluorescent sensor developed at Utrecht University. This new tool allows scientists to watch DNA damage and ...

Genome stability is critical for the longevity of postmitotic neurons, which are uniquely susceptible to damage from metabolic by-products, environmental stressors and activity-induced DNA breaks.

A new review was published in Volume 18 of Aging on August 31, 2026, titled "The guardian paradox: DNA damage response ...

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is known to cause DNA damage, and while that damage may accumulate and eventually lead to diseases like skin cancer, cells also have repair mechanisms that can fix ...

A protein best known for driving cancer growth also helps damaged tumor cells survive by repairing their DNA, according to a new study that could influence how some cancers are treated. Researchers at ...
