Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic ...

Researchers have shown for the first time how Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCV), which causes an aggressive skin cancer called Merkel cell carcinoma, initiates DNA replication in host cells. University ...

Artificial intelligence has just redrawn the map of our genome’s control room, revealing hundreds of thousands of tiny DNA ...

CDT1 inhibits the helicase activity of the MCM complex, thereby suppressing nascent strand synthesis in DNA replication in cultured human cells. This action results in fork collapse and DNA damage, ...

Scientists depicted the four-dimensional genome model to reveal how DNA folding regulates genes. The discovery helps ...

Alcohol consumption leads to the formation of a toxic compound called acetaldehyde, which damages DNA. A research team from IOCB Prague has now described in detail how cells repair this damaged ...

For all its mysteries, cancer can be boiled down to a disease caused by cell division gone haywire. But what determines the rate at which cancer cells can grow? They need cell building materials—amino ...

What information could patients and providers learn from DNA found in a blood sample? An expert sat down with CURE to discuss ctDNA misconceptions. For patients with cancer, circulating tumor DNA ...

Cancer’s genetic fingerprints may lurk in people’s blood long before they find out about the disease. It’s possible to spot tumor DNA more than three years before a person is diagnosed with cancer, ...
