In a recent study published in the journal Nature, researchers found that the recruitment of neurons to memory circuits is preceded by a cascade of molecular events induced during learning, which ...

Scientists have captured the most detailed structural images to date of a specific type of protein's DNA repair process, a finding that could reveal ways to inhibit the effects of BRCA1 and BRCA2 ...

An elegant collaboration between researchers in the UK's two core-funded Medical Research Council Research Institutes, the Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) in London and the Laboratory of ...

(Nanowerk News) For the first time, it is possible to follow, step-by-step and with atomic resolution, what happens when the enzyme DNA photolyase repairs ultraviolet light-induced DNA damage. An ...

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 ...

Researchers have captured the most detailed structural images yet of a DNA repair process that helps BRCA-mutated cancer cells survive, revealing how the RAD52 protein and its yeast ancestor Mgm101 ...

Researchers have identified a pathway that triggers an immune response in cells with defective DNA repair. In particular, the ...

Homologous recombination is a DNA repair mechanism that counteracts double-stranded breaks in DNA. Researchers at Kindai University have recently revealed how the Sae2 protein coordinates with the ...

Scientists have captured the most detailed structural images to date of a specific type of protein's DNA repair process, a finding that could reveal ways to inhibit the effects of BRCA1 and BRCA2 ...

The study focused on rare DNA damage-repair (DDR) disorders, including Ataxia-Telangiectasia (A-T) and Bloom syndrome. These ...

Every time a cell divides, it must copy its DNA with extraordinary precision. But this process is constantly challenged by ...
