DNA can sustain serious injuries called double strand breaks, in which both strands of the helix snap. These breaks are among ...

An international research team has identified a human protein, ANKLE1, as the first DNA-cutting enzyme (nuclease) in mammals ...

The field of dermatology has witnessed remarkable progress in the prevention and treatment of skin diseases over the past ...

Scripps Research scientists have discovered how some tumors endure DNA damage, revealing a potential new way to target them. The DNA inside our cells is constantly exposed to damage, and one of the ...

Cedars-Sinai scientists have created a new experimental drug called TY1 that helps the body repair damaged DNA and restore ...

After two decades in the making, scientists have cracked the code on a drug that can repair DNA, setting the scene for a new ...

The DNA inside our cells is constantly being damaged, and one of the worst kinds of damage is a double-strand break-when both sides of the DNA helix are cut at once.

TY1 enhances the action of TREX1, a gene that helps immune cells clear damaged DNA, helping to minimize scar tissue post heart attacks.

Cedars-Sinai researchers have created TY1, an experimental RNA-based drug that helps the body repair damaged DNA and restore injured tissue. The idea came from studying tiny molecular “messages” ...

Cedars-Sinai scientists have developed an experimental drug that repairs DNA and serves as a prototype for a new class of ...
