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. This means ...

But recent research has revealed something unexpected – some types of DNA damage can dodge these repair mechanisms and lurk in our cells for years, creating multiple opportunities for cancer-causing ...

"The DNA inside our cells is constantly experiencing damage, and DNA repair is happening ... depends on the engagement of specific DNA repair pathways, particularly when radiation is given at ...

A research team from the Department of Chemistry at UNIST has announced that they have identified a novel pathway through which blue light can damage cellular proteins. Blue light, which emanates ...

Jan. 15, 2025 — A cutting-edge molecular approach provides a detailed picture of the biological pathways associated with childhood obesity and metabolic dysfunction, and identifies environmental ...

A double-strand DNA break (DSB) occurs or arises when both strands of the DNA duplex are severed, often as the result of ionizing radiation. They are particularly deleterious as the DNA ends can ...

A research team, consisting of Professors Duyoung Min, Tae-Hyuk Kwon, and Seung Kyu Min from the Department of Chemistry at UNIST, announced that they have identified a novel pathway through which ...
