The researchers focused on Fanconi anemia, a rare inherited disorder characterized by a failure to repair specific types of ...

When DNA breaks, cells must repair it accurately to prevent harmful mutations. Researchers have discovered that during a key ...

Scripps Research scientists have discovered how some tumors endure DNA damage, revealing a potential new way to target them. The DNA inside our cells is constantly exposed to damage, and one of the ...

Researchers identified a new, sticky form of mitochondrial DNA damage that builds up at dramatically higher levels than in nuclear DNA. These lesions disrupt energy production and activate ...

A previously unknown type of DNA damage in the mitochondria, the tiny power plants inside our cells, could shed light on how our bodies sense and respond to stress. The findings of the UC ...

A previously unknown type of DNA damage in the mitochondria, the tiny power plants inside our cells, could shed light on how our bodies sense and respond to stress. The findings of the UC ...

The findings may have important implications for diseases linked to mitochondrial dysfunction. A newly identified form of DNA damage inside mitochondria, the small structures that supply energy to our ...

Cedars-Sinai scientists have developed an experimental drug that repairs DNA and serves as a prototype for a new class of ...

Many people lather up with sunscreen or cover up with hats to protect themselves from the sun’s harmful rays. These added layers help to shield the skin from ultraviolet (UV) light, which damages DNA ...

Researchers discovered that tanning beds cause widespread, mutation-laden DNA damage across almost all skin, explaining the ...
