A screen of interactions between genes involved in the cell’s response to DNA damage has revealed several previously unreported ‘synthetic lethalities’, in which disrupting a pair of genes, but not ...

A closeup look at colibactin’s structure reveals chemical motifs that guide its mutation-wreaking “warheads” to specific stretches of DNA.

MIAMI, FLORIDA (AUG. 20, 2025) – A new study maps out the timeline of DNA damage for multiple myeloma, the second most common blood cancer. The findings may lead to better ways to group patients by ...

The DNA inside our cells is constantly being damaged, and one of the worst kinds of damage is a double-strand break—when both ...

Alcohol consumption leads to the formation of a toxic compound called acetaldehyde, which damages DNA. A research team from ...

Your DNA is continually damaged by sources both inside and outside your body. One especially severe form of damage called a double-strand break involves the severing of both strands of the DNA double ...

A single sperm donor who carries a rare cancer-causing genetic mutation has fathered at least 197 children across 14 ...

Scripps Research scientists have discovered how some tumors endure DNA damage, revealing a potential new way to target them. The DNA inside our cells is constantly exposed to damage, and one of the ...

Japanese researchers discovered that hair graying and melanoma share a surprising cellular origin. When DNA damage strikes melanocyte stem cells, they may undergo a protective process called ...
