Is the key to living over 200 hidden in the icy sea of the Arctic? The bowhead whale, an 80,000-kilogram insulating blubber ...

Bowhead whales can live over 200 years thanks to a protein that helps their cells repair DNA damage efficiently.

Yuan He aims to understand how cells read and repair their genomes. His research encompasses two primary areas: transcription, in which genetic information is copied from DNA into messenger RNA, and ...

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 ...

The Pol-theta enzyme (blue) joins two parts of a broken DNA strand (yellow). This process is mutagenic and can give rise to cancer. LA JOLLA, CA—DNA repair proteins act like the body’s editors, ...

One of the biggest challenges in cancer treatment is chemoresistance: Tumors that initially respond well to chemotherapy ...

Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology (DGIST; President Kunwoo Lee) announced that a research team led by Professor Younghoon Kee from the Department of New Biology has successfully ...

DNA repair proteins act like the body's editors, constantly finding and reversing damage to our genetic code. Researchers have long struggled to understand how cancer cells hijack one of these ...

A new study uncovers how working at 35,000 feet may disrupt DNA repair and immune function in flight attendants, offering fresh insights into the health risks faced by cabin crews and the urgent need ...
