The tumor suppressor p53 is a transcription factor that controls the expression of hundreds of genes. Emerging evidence suggests that the p53-induced RNA-binding protein ZMAT3 is a key splicing ...

Background Chronic inflammation and elevated reactive oxygen species are key contributors to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) ...

RNA in control. By uncovering RNA's previously unknown function to repair DNA damage, our findings show how RNA may directly contribute to the stability and evolution of the genome.

Xing Kang et al, Extrachromosomal DNA replication and maintenance couple with DNA damage pathway in tumors, Cell (2025). DOI: 10.1016/j.cell.2025.04.012.

Our DNA is constantly under threat — from cell division errors to external factors like sunlight and smoking. Fortunately, cells have intricate repair mechanisms to counteract this damage. Scientists ...

While most types of DNA damage are repaired by the body’s natural DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of damage can evade these processes and persist for years, according to new research. This prolonged ...

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 ...

If DNA damage is not properly repaired, mutations can occur, which may result in diseases like cancer. Cells use repair systems to fix this damage, with specialized proteins locating and binding ...
