New research reveals that triggering a cell’s DNA damage response could be a promising avenue for developing novel treatments against several rare but devastating viruses for which no antiviral ...

A research team has successfully identified a novel DNA damage repair pathway in human cells. This study is the first to discover that proteins present in the nuclear membrane of cells directly ...

A research team from the University of California, Irvine has revealed a previously unknown mechanism that triggers an inflammatory immune response in cells when their DNA is damaged. This discovery ...

Despite the significance of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in solid tumor treatment, identifying ICI-sensitive populations remains a challenge. Mutations in DNA damage response (DDR) pathway ...

DNA is often described as the instruction manual for building the fundamental components of life. Proteins are helpers that ...

A new mouse study found that unrepaired DNA-protein crosslinks activate inflammatory signaling pathways that trigger early aging disorders.

If severe DNA damage is not repaired, the consequences for the health of cells and tissues are dramatic. A study led by ...

Although DNA is tightly packed and protected within the cell nucleus, it is constantly threatened by damage from normal ...

The structural and functional characteristics of mitochondria shape their role as signaling organelles, with far-reaching ...
