"The DNA inside our cells is constantly experiencing damage, and DNA repair is happening all the time to fix that damage and ...

RNA’s Surprising Role in DNA Repair New insights could lead to improved treatments for cancer and other diseases. Francesca Storici and her research team discovered a surprising role for RNA in DNA ...

Researchers at the University of Bath have discovered how DNA damage caused by a faulty DNA protection and repair system can lead to neurodegenerative disorders such as motor neuron disease (MND).

The goal of gene therapy is to permanently cure hereditary diseases. One of the most promising technologies for this is the ...

“Our lab is generally interested in discovering and characterizing previously unknown or poorly understood factors that are essential for genome maintenance. This is particularly important in the ...

Researchers at the University of Bath have discovered how DNA damage caused by a faulty DNA protection and repair system can lead to neurodegenerative disorders such as Motor Neurone Disease (MND).

The INO80 chromatin remodelling complex has various roles in genome maintenance, acting via nucleosome sliding and H2A.Z removal. Here, it is shown to also facilitate the bypass of DNA lesions during ...

Since its breakthrough development more than a decade ago, CRISPR has revolutionized DNA editing across a broad range of fields. Now scientists are applying the technology's immense potential to human ...

One of the best ways to defeat cancer is by rousing the immune system to attack it. Experts have thought that immune cells had to be inside of tumors for one type of immunotherapy, known as checkpoint ...

A new study uncovers how working at 35,000 feet may disrupt DNA repair and immune function in flight attendants, offering fresh insights into the health risks faced by cabin crews and the urgent need ...
