Is the key to living over 200 hidden in the icy sea of the Arctic? The bowhead whale, an 80,000-kilogram insulating blubber ...

Bowhead whales can live over 200 years thanks to a protein that helps their cells repair DNA damage efficiently.

An international team led by researchers from King's College London (KCL) has now found that stubbornly persistent blood ...

Despite the significance of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in solid tumor treatment, identifying ICI-sensitive populations remains a challenge. Mutations in DNA damage response (DDR) pathway ...

Yuan He aims to understand how cells read and repair their genomes. His research encompasses two primary areas: transcription, in which genetic information is copied from DNA into messenger RNA, and ...

A new study in fruit flies describes how an animal's gut reacts differently to beneficial microbes versus harmful pathogens. A pathway known for repairing damaged genetic material, called the ...

Researchers have discovered a new genetic link to the most common type of bone cancer among children and young ...

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, ...
