Metal ions bridging the grooves of two DNA helices explain how they lock together, the first direct look at the DNA zipper ...

A cell's ability to repair its damaged DNA is one of the most fundamental processes in biology, helping protect us from ...

Learn how DNA can be exchanged between two cells that connect by forming nanotubes, and find out why this is crucial for cancer research. When cells in our body are going through a rough patch due to ...

DNA damage tolerance (DDT), activated by replication stress during genome replication, is mediated by translesion synthesis and homologous recombination (HR). Here we uncover that DDK kinase, ...

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 that ...
