A protein long studied for its role in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia now appears to serve a ...

Cancer’s strongest gene switches push DNA into damaging overdrive, creating repeated breaks and repairs that may fuel tumor ...

A protein tied to ALS and dementia may have a much bigger role in disease than scientists realized. Researchers found that ...

A new single-molecule flow-stretch assay enables real-time observation of DNA-protein interactions to identify the molecular ...

A new discovery offers hope for Huntington’s disease. This discovery provides hope that a DNA repair process may help slow or stop disease progression. Research has identified a critical DNA repair ...

DNA can sustain serious injuries called double strand breaks, in which both strands of the helix snap. These breaks are among the most dangerous forms of DNA damage and immediately trigger the cell's ...

If severe DNA damage is not repaired, the consequences for the health of cells and tissues are dramatic. A study led by researchers at Goethe University Frankfurt, part of the Rhine-Main University ...
