Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During that process, enzymes known as polymerases race along the DNA to copy its ...

Unrepaired DNA-protein crosslinks (DPCs) – highly toxic tangles of protein and DNA – cause a process that leads to premature ...

Although DNA is tightly packed and protected within the cell nucleus, it is constantly threatened by damage from normal ...

If severe DNA damage is not repaired, the consequences for the health of cells and tissues are dramatic. A study led by ...

In Lewis Carroll's "Through the Looking-Glass," Alice is stuck in a never-ending race with the Red Queen yet never gains a ...

A new mouse study found that unrepaired DNA-protein crosslinks activate inflammatory signaling pathways that trigger early aging disorders.

Researchers have shown that harmful bonds between protein and DNA fuel immune attack in progeria. Pumping up a protein that cuts these bonds could prevent symptoms.

Once disregarded as “junk DNA,” scientists now know that this molecular dark matter is crucial for determining gene activity ...
