Although DNA is tightly packed and protected within the cell nucleus, it is constantly threatened by damage from normal ...

Scientists have discovered that a protein once thought to simply help load a factor necessary for the copying of DNA, plays a ...

DNA, though tightly packed in the nucleus, is constantly threatened by damage from metabolism and external stressors. One particularly severe form of DNA damage is the so-called DNA–protein crosslinks ...

DNA is often described as the instruction manual for building the fundamental components of life. Proteins are helpers that ...

DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave. Researchers have now mapped this hidden architecture in unprecedented detail, showing ...

For almost 60 years, scientists have tried to understand why DNA doesn't replicate wildly and uncontrollably every time a cell divides – which they need to do constantly. Without this process, we ...

If severe DNA damage is not repaired, the consequences for the health of cells and tissues are dramatic. A study led by ...
