Researchers at The Institute of Cancer Research, London identified the CIP2A–TOPBP1 complex as a master regulator of DNA repair during mitosis, coordinating backup pathways that protect chromosomes ...

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 ...

Changes in genes have been linked to the development of different diseases for a while. However, it's not exactly clear what ...

Greenland sharks use a unique DNA repair process to protect their eyesight, revealing clues about longevity and retinal preservation.

The tiny little powerhouses of our cells, the mitochondria, are unique among organelles because they carry their own tiny ...
