They found that in women ages 20 to 32, about 1 in 5 eggs carried a chromosome error. But after 32, that number started ...

The Sydney girls live with Xeroderman Pigmentosum (XP), an incredibly rare genetic condition that leaves them unable to ...

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 ...

A new study reports that the locations where genes begin are particularly prone to mutations, and these genetic changes can ...

When DNA breaks, cells must repair it accurately to prevent harmful mutations. Researchers have discovered that during a key ...

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.

A closeup look at colibactin’s structure reveals chemical motifs that guide its mutation-wreaking “warheads” to specific stretches of DNA.

In a study published in Science Translational Medicine, researchers at Cedars-Sinai report that an experimental drug called TY1 helped damaged hearts heal in laboratory animals. It did not thin blood ...

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

When DNA breaks, cells must repair it accurately to prevent harmful mutations. Researchers have discovered that during a key repair process called homologous recombination, the cell uses loops in its ...
