Study reveals how skin cancer virus outcompetes DNA replication in host ce
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
Researchers from the University of Pittsburgh have demonstrated for the first time how Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCV), which causes an aggressive skin cancer known as Merkel cell carcinoma, begins DNA replication in host cells

Study finds how Error-prone DNA lead to BRCA1 related cancer
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
Researchers have identified that people who inherit a faulty copy of the BRCA1 gene may develop mutations and cancer due to error-prone DNA replication and repair. When these individuals' cells are under stress, replication of the normal BRCA1 gene stalls because of the highly repetitive DNA

Study reveals the reasons why many IVF embryos fail to develop
Updated : 3 years, 7 months ago IST
New York [US], July 21 (ANI): A fertilised egg does not ensure successful reproduction in humans. Within days following fertilisation, the majority of embryos stop growing and die, typically due to an abnormally high number of chromosomes. The majority of these faults, according to new resea

'Junk' DNA may cause cancer by preventing DNA replication, say scientists
Updated : 3 years, 7 months ago IST
London [UK], July 19 (ANI): Non-coding 'junk' DNA, far from being innocuous and inactive, has been discovered by scientists to potentially contribute to the development of cancer.

Quantum mechanics explains spontaneous mutation of DNA: Study
Updated : 3 years, 10 months ago IST
Washington [US], May 14 (ANI): A team of physicists and chemists at the University of Surrey, by using sophisticated computer modelling, has shown that errors in DNA replication can arise due to the strange rules of the quantum world.
