Cedars-Sinai scientists have created a new experimental drug called TY1 that helps the body repair damaged DNA and restore ...

Following a double-strand DNA break, an enzyme called PARP1 helps hold the two strands together —like superglue— and creates a safe zone for other proteins to come repair the damage. We don’t exactly ...

DNA can sustain serious injuries called double strand breaks, in which both strands of the helix snap. These breaks are among ...

Your DNA is continually damaged by sources both inside and outside your body. One especially severe form of damage called a double-strand break involves the severing of both strands of the DNA double ...

Researchers have discovered a DNA repair mechanism that advances understanding of how human cells stay healthy, and which could lead to new treatments for cancer and premature aging. Researchers at ...
