DNA repair is essential for the maintenance of genomic stability and its failure can lead to human disease. Various DNA repair systems exist, such as base excision repair, nucleotide excision repair, ...

A new UCLA Health study has discovered in mouse models that genes associated with repairing mismatched DNA are critical in eliciting damages to neurons that are most vulnerable in Huntington's disease ...

Researchers with McMaster University have discovered that the protein mutated in patients with Huntington's Disease doesn't repair DNA as intended, impacting the ability of brain cells to heal ...

Changes in genes have been linked to the development of different diseases for a while. However, it's not exactly clear what ...

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 ...

A large genetic study shows that many people carry DNA sequences that slowly expand as they get older. Common genetic ...

Researchers have made an important Huntington's disease discovery. They have found that the protein mutated in patients with Huntington's disease doesn't repair DNA as intended, impacting the ability ...

The bowhead whale’s remarkable lifespan and low cancer risk stem from a finely tuned DNA repair system driven by a unique protein, CIRBP. Scientists found that this mechanism not only preserves the ...

Researchers from The University of Osaka reveal that genetic changes following the loss of heterochromatin can lead to ...
