Scientists have captured the most detailed structural images to date of a specific type of protein's DNA repair process, a ...

A newly discovered molecule disrupts cancer cells’ ability to repair DNA by triggering the breakdown of key proteins. Cancer ...

The work shows how DNA repair proteins bind, unwind, and rejoin strands, identifying previously unseen intermediate ...

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 ...

Unrepaired DNA-protein crosslinks (DPCs) – highly toxic tangles of protein and DNA – cause a process that leads to premature aging and embryonic lethality in mice. The findings reveal a previously ...

Learn more about a new experimental procedure that uses cancer cells’ DNA repair system against itself to make drug-resistant ...
