New research led by researchers at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), School of Medicine, reveals a novel map that depicts the human body’s system for addressing and repairing DNA ...

Cavefish exhibit resilience to chronic sleep loss and tolerate elevated DNA damage and reduced DNA repair responses without compromising healthspan or longevity.

DNA repair is essential for the maintenance of genomic stability and its failure can lead to human disease. Various DNA repair systems exist, such as base excision repair, nucleotide excision repair, ...

Since its breakthrough development more than a decade ago, CRISPR has revolutionized DNA editing across a broad range of fields. Now scientists are applying the technology's immense potential to human ...

Researchers discovered that bowhead whales achieve extraordinary longevity and cancer resistance through highly efficient and precise DNA repair mechanisms. A whale-specific protein, CIRBP, enhances ...

“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 ...

A new gene-editing technique enables the correction of multiple genetic mutations simultaneously, transforming the prospects ...

Researchers at the University of Bath have discovered how DNA damage caused by a faulty DNA protection and repair system can lead to neurodegenerative disorders such as Motor Neurone Disease (MND).

Nutritious food regular exercise quality sleep hydration and stress control are the simple life habits that can protect DNA ...

Researchers at the University of Bath have discovered how DNA damage caused by a faulty DNA protection and repair system can lead to neurodegenerative disorders such as motor neuron disease (MND).

DNA is often likened to a blueprint. The particular sequence of As, Cs, Gs, and Ts in DNA provides information for building an organism. What’s not captured by this analogy is the fact that our DNA ...
