A new study suggests the APOE2 longevity gene may protect the brain from Alzheimer's by helping neurons repair DNA damage and ...
Chemotherapy drugs like doxorubicin and etoposide work by snapping a cancer cell’s DNA in two. The breaks are supposed to be ...
For decades, oncologists have watched a frustrating pattern repeat itself. Tumors fueled by the MYC protein, one of the most ...
People who carry the APOE2 version of the apolipoprotein E gene are more likely to live to advanced age and are partly ...
The study focused on rare DNA damage-repair (DDR) disorders, including Ataxia-Telangiectasia (A-T) and Bloom syndrome. These ...
A protein best known for driving cancer growth also helps damaged tumor cells survive by repairing their DNA, according to a ...
The APOE2 gene variant protects against Alzheimer's by enhancing DNA repair and preventing neuronal senescence.
DNA can be damaged by normal cellular processes as well as external factors such as UV radiation and chemicals. Such damage can lead to breaks in the DNA strand. If DNA damage is not properly repaired ...
Although DNA is tightly packed and protected within the cell nucleus, it is constantly threatened by damage from normal metabolic processes or external stressors such as radiation or chemical ...
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is known to cause DNA damage, and while that damage may accumulate and eventually lead to diseases like skin cancer, cells also have repair mechanisms that can fix ...
Researchers have identified HELQ as a key regulator of DNA replication stress responses, explaining why cells lacking the ...
