A new LUMC study has changed our understanding of how cells work. Researchers have discovered that the CFAP20 protein acts as ...

Scientists have created a live-cell DNA sensor that reveals how damage appears and disappears inside living cells, capturing the entire repair sequence as it unfolds. Instead of freezing cells at ...

DNA can sustain serious injuries called double strand breaks, in which both strands of the helix snap. These breaks are among the most dangerous forms of DNA damage and immediately trigger the cell's ...

A new LUMC study has changed our understanding of how cells work. Researchers have discovered that the CFAP20 protein acts as ...

The DNA packed inside every human cell contains instructions for life, written in billions of letters of genetic code. Every time a cell divides, the complete code, divided among 46 chromosomes, must ...

MSK researchers are shedding new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that can cause DNA replication to stall. The structures are a potential therapeutic target in cancer. Image ...

DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave.

Scientists at Utrecht University have developed a unique fluorescent sensor that lets us watch DNA damage and repair happen live inside living cells and organisms. Instead of relying on still ...

If the engines of DNA replication stay in high gear all the time, they eventually stall or even break down. Fortunately, these engines, which consist of protein complexes, have what could be called ...
