DNA is the blueprint of the human body. However, tens of thousands of DNA lesions occur in our bodies every day. In ...

Researchers have captured the first atomic structures of human SMUG1, an enzyme that helps cells repair damaged DNA. The ...

A new study developed a mineralized DNA hydrogel that combines immune regulation with sustained bone regeneration.

A new study suggests melatonin supplements may help night shift workers boost their body's DNA repair processes, potentially offsetting some of the damage linked to working overnight. The findings are ...

A new review highlights how human evolution has shaped the presence of pathogenic variations in DNA damage repair (DDR) genes, offering a new perspective on why modern populations face increased ...

RNA’s Surprising Role in DNA Repair New insights could lead to improved treatments for cancer and other diseases. Francesca Storici and her research team discovered a surprising role for RNA in DNA ...

Melatonin night shift workers may gain a new tool against cancer risk: a first-of-its-kind trial found that 3 mg before ...

Although DNA is tightly packed and protected within the cell nucleus, it is constantly threatened by damage from normal metabolic processes or external stressors such as radiation or chemical ...

The human genome consists of 3 billion base pairs, and when a cell divides, it takes about seven hours to complete making a copy of its DNA. That's almost 120,000 base pairs per second. At that ...

A clinical study has shown that taking melatonin can help night workers repair DNA damage more effectively. In those who took ...
