DNA repair is essential for the maintenance of genomic stability and its failure can lead to human disease. Various DNA repair systems exist, such as base excision repair, nucleotide excision repair, ...

A protein long studied for its role in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia now appears to serve a second, equally critical function, safeguarding the integrity of human DNA.

A new UCLA Health study has discovered in mouse models that genes associated with repairing mismatched DNA are critical in eliciting damages to neurons that are most vulnerable in Huntington's disease ...

A protein found in bowhead whales may improve DNA repair in human cells, offering new insights into ageing and disease.

Scientists are studying a mysterious “whale protein” that helps these giants live over 200 years without cancer, but could this discovery really unlock longer, healthier lives for humans too?

A protein found in bowhead whales, one of the longest-living mammals on Earth, could help improve how human cells repair DNA, according to new research from scientists at the Albert Einstein College ...

Researchers have revealed the structural mechanisms of a major DNA repair pathway in human cells. The research, published today as a Reviewed Preprint in eLife, is described by the editors as a ...

A protein in bowhead whales, CIRBP, enhances DNA repair in human cells, possibly extending lifespans. Learn about this study ...

Unrepaired DNA-protein crosslinks (DPCs) – highly toxic tangles of protein and DNA – cause a process that leads to premature aging and embryonic lethality in mice. The findings reveal a previously ...

Every human wants to live a longer life to fulfil their dream and ambitions. While modern lifestyle stresses have raised ...
