The maintenance of genomic integrity in eukaryotic cells relies on the DNA damage checkpoint, a sophisticated signalling pathway that detects DNA lesions, transduces signals via sensor kinases and ...
Yeast Sae2 plays a dual role in the DNA damage response by suppressing Rad53 activation and stimulating DNA end clipping via the MRX complex. Using AlphaFold3-based modeling and mutational analysis, ...
Michael is a junior at Fordham College Lincoln Center majoring in Natural Sciences with focus on Cell and Molecular Biology ...
While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells' in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research shows. This means that ...
As newborn neurons make their way through the developing brain, they must squeeze through incredibly tight spaces to reach their final destinations. Researchers discovered that this physical journey ...
Salk Institute scientists identify YAF9B as a protein activated by DNA damage, acting like an emergency responder to ...
Similar to the way DNA damage can contribute to human diseases such as cancer, it can also disrupt growth, development and ...
A protein best known for driving cancer growth also helps damaged tumor cells survive by repairing their DNA, according to a new study that could influence how some cancers are treated. Researchers at ...
