Every time a cell divides, it must copy its DNA with extraordinary precision. But this process is constantly challenged by ...
Researchers at MD Anderson have identified RNase H2 as a key survival mechanism in triple-negative breast cancer, helping ...
During DNA replication, the unwinding of strands leaves a single strand vulnerable. How does the cell protect these strands from damage? How would you identify the protein that serves as a connector ...
Genome instability can cause numerous diseases. Cells have effective DNA repair mechanisms at their disposal. A research team has now gained new insights into the DNA damage response. Whenever cells ...
Prognosis and survival evaluation in treating high-risk BRAF V600 mutation stage III or IV melanoma with dabrafenib plus trametinib therapy: A meta-analysis of 2,660 patients.
The cancer drugs called PARP inhibitors have a puzzling reputation: even though they are treatment mainstays for multiple forms of cancer, they can damage cancer-killing T cells and disrupt the ...
Sunburns and aging skin are obvious effects of exposure to harmful UV rays, tobacco smoke and other carcinogens. But the ...
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 ...
