A double-strand break (DSB) is a type of DNA damage where both strands of the DNA helix are cut or broken at the same location, causing a complete discontinuity in the DNA molecule. Unrepaired or ...
You can always be judged by your scars. This is the idea that sums up what researchers at Spanish National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO) claim is one of the new breakthroughs in basic and biomedical ...
Study shows how telomerase can run amok, deleteriously capping damaged DNA, were it not for a first responder to DNA damage. The natural ends of chromosomes appear alarmingly like broken DNA, much as ...
A protein long studied for its role in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia now appears to serve a ...
A new study conducted in roundworms finds that a common plastic ingredient causes breaks in DNA strands, resulting in egg cells with the wrong number of chromosomes. Monica Colaiácovo of Harvard ...
