Guarding genes against damage is a crucial and complex job, so it’s to be expected that cells have several mechanisms to repair DNA breakages, each providing support under different circumstances. For ...

New research sheds light on how cells repair damaged DNA. For the first time, the team has mapped the activity of repair proteins in individual human cells. The study demonstrates how these proteins ...

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 ...

Sleep isn't just a luxury, it's a vital process that helps our bodies repair and rejuvenate. Researchers have started to ...

Following a double-strand DNA break, an enzyme called PARP1 helps hold the two strands together —like superglue— and creates a safe zone for other proteins to come repair the damage. We don’t exactly ...

Anglia Ruskin University (ARU) provides funding as a member of The Conversation UK. Sleep isn’t just a luxury, it’s a vital process that helps our bodies repair and rejuvenate. Researchers have ...

Sleep is more than just a way to recharge—it’s essential for our body’s repair and recovery. Researchers have now discovered that sleep quality and timing can influence more than just how refreshed we ...
