Osaka, Japan - BRCA1, a protein that is well-known for its role in hereditary breast cancer, is an important part of the cellular system that repairs double-strand DNA breaks. Now, researchers from ...
A double-strand break (DSB) is a type of DNA damage where both strands of the DNA helix are cut or broken at the same location, causing a complete discontinuity in the DNA molecule. Unrepaired or ...
One of the hallmarks of DNA damage is the rapid spreading of phosphorylated histone H2A (γ-H2AX) around a DNA double-strand break (DSB). In the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, nearly all H2A ...
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 ...

New work shows that neurons and other brain cells use DNA double-strand breaks, often associated with cancer, neurodegeneration and aging, to quickly express genes related to learning and memory.
(Nanowerk News) A team of researchers from Michigan State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine has made a discovery that may have implications for therapeutic gene editing strategies, cancer ...
You can always be judged by your scars. This is the idea that sums up what researchers at Spanish National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO) claim is one of the new breakthroughs in basic and biomedical ...
