A new study suggests melatonin supplements may help night shift workers boost their body's DNA repair processes, potentially offsetting some of the damage linked to working overnight. The findings are ...

Many cancers can be treated by administering DNA-damaging agents, such as platinum-based chemotherapy, because the resulting DNA damage causes the cancer cells to die. A subset of cancers, however, ...

The data showed elevated levels of the metabolite αKG improved DNA repair, and blocking it made the cancer cells more sensitive to treatment.

Researchers found that cancer cells may repair chemotherapy-induced DNA damage, helping explain treatment resistance in ...

A new study suggests the APOE2 longevity gene may protect the brain from Alzheimer's by helping neurons repair DNA damage and ...

DNA sits in sunlight every day, absorbing ultraviolet radiation that can set off the kind of chemical changes linked to ...

At its core, aging is a dysfunction in the way DNA is read and implemented in cells, says David Sinclair, PhD. And he’s basically putting all his money on figuring out how to leverage our knowledge of ...

A new review highlights how human evolution has shaped the presence of pathogenic variations in DNA damage repair (DDR) genes, offering a new perspective on why modern populations face increased ...

A protein best known for driving cancer growth also helps damaged tumor cells survive by repairing their DNA, according to a ...

When it comes to cancer, tumor suppressor genes are usually thought of as the "good guys." These genes make proteins that ...

Researchers at the Faculty of Information Technology at the University of Jyväskylä have used artificial intelligence to speed up the analysis of colorectal cancer samples and predict the functioning ...

Vitamin B12 has long been seen as a health hero, helping the body make red blood cells, repair DNA, and keep nerves ...
