Researchers find how cells recognize, repair DNA damage
Updated : 1 year, 5 months ago IST
When cells divide, there is a substantial risk of genetic harm. After all, the cell must repeat its whole genetic material, including billions of genetic letters, before it can divide. This repeatedly produces "reading errors" in the genome. Other factors, including as exposure to sunlight,

Scientists discover how fungus helps destroy dangerous food toxin
Updated : 2 years, 6 months ago IST
Patulin, a mycotoxin produced by several fungi, is deadly to a variety of organisms, including humans, mammals, plants, and microorganisms. Many of these fungal species grow on damaged or decaying fruits, particularly apples, and can contaminate apple products such as apple sauce, apple juic

Researchers discover how DNA repair can go wrong and lead to disease
Updated : 2 years, 10 months ago IST
"DNA breaks and repair events occur thousands of times per day in each of us," said Freudenreich. "Most of the time, repair works the way it should. But we now have a better understanding of how things can go wrong, and we can apply this knowledge to new therapeutic strategies."
