When DNA breaks inside the cell, it can spell disaster, especially if the damage occurs in areas of the genome that are difficult to repair. Now, scientists Irene Chiolo and Chiara Merigliano at ...

Additionally, we found that RNA aids in double-strand break repair in both yeast and human cells, suggesting that its role in DNA repair is evolutionarily conserved across species.

Notably, they were able to reintroduce ZNF280A into these cells which partially rescued these DNA repair defects, confirming that the absence of ZNF280A is a key driver of the DNA repair defects in ...

Tumors often show high levels of PDI, where cancer cells appear to exploit its DNA repair abilities to help them survive and resist treatment. "PDI is like a double agent," Dr. Shadfar explains.

Background The frequency of cancer, neurologic degeneration and mortality in xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) patients with defective DNA repair was determined in a four decade natural history study.
