Each one of the trillions of cells that make up the human body suffers more than 10,000 DNA lesions every day. These injuries would be catastrophic if cells were unable to repair them, but a very ...

In the study, the researchers have developed new approaches that allow DNA repair to be visualized by analyzing hundreds of proteins at once As soon as there is DNA damage, such as a DNA double-strand ...

American Journal of Botany, Vol. 104, No. 7 (July 2017), pp. 970-978 (9 pages) PREMISE OF THE STUDY:Root border cells are programmed to separate from the root cap as it penetrates the soil environment ...

Researchers from the Hubrecht Institute in Utrecht (The Netherlands) and the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Biomedicine in Münster (Germany) used computer simulations to reveal in atomic detail ...

Every day, each of the trillions of cells in the human body receives over 10,000 DNA lesions, which if unrepaired can lead to mutations and diseases, such as cancer. Luckily, we have complex machinery ...

Scientists are exploring how DNA’s physical structure can store vast amounts of data and encode secure information.

Since the dawn of the computer age, researchers have wrestled with two persistent challenges: how to store ever-increasing ...
