Guarding genes against damage is a crucial and complex job, so it’s to be expected that cells have several mechanisms to repair DNA breakages, each providing support under different circumstances. For ...

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 ...

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

Anglia Ruskin University (ARU) provides funding as a member of The Conversation UK. Sleep isn’t just a luxury, it’s a vital process that helps our bodies repair and rejuvenate. Researchers have ...

Two stories just published provide a much different picture of how bacterial cells continually repair lesions in their DNA. Led by researchers from the NYU Grossman School of Medicine, the work ...

The RNA helicase DDX3X spends its days unwinding RNA:RNA duplexes and binding key mediators of RNA metabolism. A regulator of RNA transcription, splicing, nuclear export, and translation, DDX3X plays ...

Sleep is more than just a way to recharge—it’s essential for our body’s repair and recovery. Researchers have now discovered that sleep quality and timing can influence more than just how refreshed we ...

Two studies provide a radically new picture of how bacterial cells continually repair damaged sections (lesions) in their DNA. Two studies provide a radically new picture of how bacterial cells ...
