Antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs), used to treat genetic diseases, can affect how cells repair damage to their DNA. This is ...

Researchers at Cardiff University have uncovered how a particularly severe form of DNA damage arises—shedding new light on ...

Stanford Medicine pediatric hematologist Agnieszka Czechowicz, MD, Ph.D., has devoted her research career to improving ...

A protein tied to ALS and dementia may have a much bigger role in disease than scientists realized. Researchers found that ...

Spread the loveIn a groundbreaking study published on March 15, 2026, researchers from Houston Methodist have unveiled a crucial protein associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and ...

A new paper published in Science Translational Medicine describes an experimental drug capable of repairing DNA damage caused by disease. Developed by scientists at Cedars-Sinai, the potential ...

A team of international researchers at the University of Oxford (Oxford) and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore), has discovered a new process for repairing damaged DNA that is ...

When DNA breaks, cells must repair it accurately to prevent harmful mutations. Researchers have discovered that during a key repair process called homologous recombination, the cell uses loops in its ...

If severe DNA damage is not repaired, the consequences for the health of cells and tissues are dramatic. A study led by researchers at Goethe University Frankfurt, part of the Rhine-Main University ...

Not all DNA looks like the familiar double helix. Sometimes, parts of our genetic code fold into unusual shapes under certain conditions. One such structure known as a G-quadruplex (G4) looks like a ...
