Delve into the field of PARP inhibitors, a class that has gained traction in ovarian, breast, and prostate cancers.

Scientists now recognize that spontaneous DNA errors, which we acquire in early development all the way until our last breath ...

A team of Israeli researchers has found that one of the reasons that sleep could be so important to animals — including humans — is that it takes neurons 'offline' so DNA damage accumulated during ...

Naked mole-rats seem to have found nature’s cheat code for longevity. Scientists discovered that small tweaks in one of their proteins make it better at fixing DNA damage, helping the animals resist ...

Researchers have captured the most detailed structural images yet of a DNA repair process that helps BRCA-mutated cancer cells survive, revealing how the RAD52 protein and its yeast ancestor Mgm101 ...

The human immune system is finely tuned to detect and destroy viral threats. But this same defense system can misfire. When ...

The rings of DNA inside mitochondria are inaccessible to these techniques, which means that precise edits to mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) remain frustratingly out of reach. “Mitochondria missed the ...

Researchers identified a new, sticky form of mitochondrial DNA damage that builds up at dramatically higher levels than in nuclear DNA. These lesions disrupt energy production and activate ...
