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 ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) DNA damage in healthy cells can persist unrepaired for years, challenging traditional views on mutation formation. This persistence allows multiple opportunities ...

Finding out your dog’s breed can be a fun experience, but there are also plenty of reasons to get a dog DNA kit that will have an impact on your furry friend’s wellbeing. Identifying genetic ...

But recent research has revealed something unexpected – some types of DNA damage can dodge these repair mechanisms and lurk in our cells for years, creating multiple opportunities for cancer-causing ...

Most dividing cells in the body have well-defined checkpoint mechanisms to sense and correct DNA damage during DNA replication. Neurons, however, do not divide. For this reason, they are at ...

DNA damage can persist unrepaired for years, particularly in blood stem cells, increasing the risk of mutations and cancer. This discovery challenges traditional views on mutation processes and ...

Sunburn has traditionally been attributed to UV-induced DNA damage. However, a new study by the University of Copenhagen and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, reveals that RNA ...

Although the roles of the newly recognized polymerases are still being defined, one of their crucial functions is to allow synthesis past DNA damage that ... at the time of detection, and thus ...

Abstract: In numerous wind power companies, the quality of high-strength bolts plays a pivotal role in ensuring the safety of wind turbines. However, existing damage detection methods tend to be ...
