Study illustrates how cells choose DNA repair methods
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
DNA is usually regarded as the blueprint for life and is essential for an organism to perform biological tasks. A range of factors, including radical metabolites, radiation, and other hazardous substances, can cause DNA damage. Because DNA is a two-stranded molecule, it can be damaged on eit

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."

Research reveals glioma drug exploits DNA repair defects to selectively ta
Updated : 3 years, 7 months ago IST
Washington [US], July 28 (ANI): A new class of glioma medications takes advantage of tumours lacking the DNA repair enzyme MGMT; the medications cause the generation of cytotoxic DNA and kill tumour cells specifically without the risk of developing resistance, according to research.
