An international collaboration steered by David Cortez, Richard N. Armstrong, Ph.D. Chair for Innovation in Biochemistry, explored how cells tolerate DNA damage and genome instability—and they arrived ...

Prostate cancer is the second most common form of cancer among men globally. Yet, we still know relatively little about why the disease develops or why some men live with it for years while it ...

A new study finds that when p53, one of the most important cancer-protecting genes, stops working, cells produce too much RNA ...

A new discovery by researchers at the RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics (BDR) in Japan upends decades of assumptions regarding DNA replication. Led by Ichiro Hiratani and colleagues, the ...

DNA replication is a tightly controlled process that copies the genetic code, allowing its instructions to be conveyed from one generation of cells to the next. In diseases like cancer, these ...

A protein that is involved in determining which enzymes cut or unwind DNA during the replication process has been identified. A protein that is involved in determining which enzymes cut or unwind DNA ...

DNA replication and repair mechanisms constitute the foundation of genomic integrity, ensuring that genetic information is faithfully duplicated and maintained across cell generations. Replication ...

Within the nucleus of every cell are long strings of DNA, the code that holds all the information needed to make and control every cell within a living organism. DNA, which stands for deoxyribonucleic ...

King Abdullah University of Science & Technology (KAUST)Mar 19 2025 Reviewed For the first time, scientists have witnessed the very moment DNA begins to unravel, revealing a necessary molecular event ...
