Jan. 15, 2025 — 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.

New research discovered a key protein that plays a role in DNA double-strand break repair. MSH2-MSH3, a mismatch repair protein, is recruited to DSB sites through the interaction with a chromatin ...

When a DSB happens in DNA, it’s like a load-bearing beam in a building breaking. A careful, precise repair is needed to ensure the building’s — or the DNA’s — stability. The pieces must be rejoined ...

During repair, the DNA reads the uracil as thymine. Although there's no double-stranded break, base editors do create a nick in one strand. An enzyme is attached to the Cas9 and chemically changes ...

A novel technology combined with optical tweezer C-trap technology gives researchers new insight into DNA repair mechanisms.. Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh (PA, USA) have developed a ...

These proteins repair DNA damage from UV radiation using light. “They’re very good at using almost every single photon they catch,” says Thomas Lane at the German Electron Synchrotron (DESY).
