Houston Methodist scientists have uncovered an unexpected side of a protein best known for its link to brain diseases. The ...

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 repair proteins act like the body's editors, constantly finding and reversing damage to our genetic code. Researchers have long struggled to understand how cancer cells hijack one of these ...

Researchers have found hundreds of metabolic enzymes attached to human DNA inside the cell nucleus. Different tissues and cancers show unique patterns of these enzymes, forming a “nuclear metabolic ...

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

Every human wants to live a longer life to fulfil their dream and ambitions. While modern lifestyle stresses have raised ...

A new discovery offers hope for Huntington’s disease. This discovery provides hope that a DNA repair process may help slow or stop disease progression. Research has identified a critical DNA repair ...

More than 200 metabolic enzymes, many of which are normally tasked with producing energy in the mitochondria, are also found ...

An estimated 170,000 Australians were diagnosed with cancer in 2025. Many people know the causes of cancer are partly genetic. But how do your genes, which contribute so much of what makes you you, ...

The Pol-theta enzyme (blue) joins two parts of a broken DNA strand (yellow). This process is mutagenic and can give rise to cancer. LA JOLLA, CA—DNA repair proteins act like the body’s editors, ...
