New research shows how the gut microbiome influences immunity, DNA repair, and aging - making microbial balance key to ...

Jan. 15, 2025 — While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells' in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research shows.

After editing, cells naturally repair the broken DNA in different ways. By visualizing thousands of DNA sequences from this process, KMAP revealed four common patterns of how the DNA was repaired ...

Researchers from the University of Birmingham have uncovered answers that provide the detail to explain two specific DNA repair processes that have long been in question. The publication of two ...

Night-shift workers, who often battle irregular sleep patterns and diminished melatonin ... cycles can lead to a reduced ability to repair oxidative DNA damage, which might, over time, increase ...

New research from the Kind Group at the Hubrecht Institute sheds light on how cells repair damaged DNA. For the first time, the team has mapped the activity of repair proteins in individual human ...

In its structure, DNA contains a pattern for producing amino acids ... Because almost everything that makes or uses DNA also makes DNA repair proteins, it's possible to rewind the evolutionary ...
