One type of genetic damage is known as crosslinking, in which the nucleotide bases of DNA get stuck together. The double helix of DNA has to be unwound and separated when a cell is dividing and ...

Previously unknown mechanism triggers an inflammatory immune response in cells when their DNA is damaged.

Researchers at the University of Würzburg, led by Caroline Kisker in cooperation with Claudia Höbartner, discovered how the protein XPD detects a severe DNA damage and controls its repair.

A new study focused on multiple myeloma, the second most common blood cancer, may lead to better ways to group patients by ...

A research team has discovered that accumulated DNA damage in the retina is a key contributor to age-related macular degeneration and that targeting specific retinal cell types may lead to ...

Dubbed the ‘guardian of the genome’, the p53 protein responds to DNA damage by stalling cell division, initiating DNA repair ...
