DNA can be damaged by normal cellular processes as well as external factors such as UV radiation and chemicals. Such damage can lead to breaks in the DNA strand. If DNA damage is not properly repaired ...

DNA can sustain serious injuries called double strand breaks, in which both strands of the helix snap. These breaks are among the most dangerous forms of DNA damage and immediately trigger the cell's ...

An international research team from the University of Oxford and Nanyang Technological University (NTU Singapore) reports the discovery of a new process for repairing damaged DNA that is particularly ...

DNA repair is essential for the maintenance of genomic stability and its failure can lead to human disease. Various DNA repair systems exist, such as base excision repair, nucleotide excision repair, ...

Researchers have uncovered answers that provide the detail to explain two specific DNA repair processes that have long been in question. Researchers from the University of Birmingham have uncovered ...

Melatonin intervention linked to borderline significant increase in urinary 8-OH-dG, which is indicator of oxidative DNA damage repair capacity. (HealthDay News) — For night shift workers, melatonin ...

Melatonin supplementation may help offset the DNA damage associated with night shift work by boosting the body's ability to repair it, suggest the findings of a small clinical trial published online ...

New research from the Kind Group at the Hubrecht Institute sheds light on how cells repair damaged DNA. For the first time, the team has mapped the activity of repair proteins in individual human ...
