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

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

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 ...

Greenland sharks preserve vision for centuries through DNA repair, offering clues for treating age-related eye disease.

Researchers have revealed the structural mechanisms of a major DNA repair pathway in human cells. The research, published today as a Reviewed Preprint in eLife, is described by the editors as a ...

DNA (in blue) and the nuclear envelope (in green) found in the nuclei of cancer cells are attacked by the lysosomes (in red) after exposure to chemotherapy drugs as part of the ...

Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic tangles overwhelm normal repair pathways, cells flip on a fast but error-prone ...

An analysis of genetic data from over 900,000 people shows that certain stretches of DNA, made up of short sequences repeated ...
