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

In a new study, scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig analyzed the impact of more ...

Cedars-Sinai scientists have created a new experimental drug called TY1 that helps the body repair damaged DNA and restore ...

DNA can sustain serious injuries called double strand breaks, in which both strands of the helix snap. These breaks are among ...

The DNA inside our cells is constantly being damaged, and one of the worst kinds of damage is a double-strand break—when both ...

After two decades in the making, scientists have cracked the code on a drug that can repair DNA, setting the scene for a new ...

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

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

Cedars-Sinai researchers have created TY1, an experimental RNA-based drug that helps the body repair damaged DNA and restore injured tissue. The idea came from studying tiny molecular “messages” ...

Following a double-strand DNA break, an enzyme called PARP1 helps hold the two strands together —like superglue— and creates a safe zone for other proteins to come repair the damage. We don’t exactly ...
