Cedars-Sinai scientists have created a new experimental drug called TY1 that helps the body repair damaged DNA and restore ...

Sleep isn't just a luxury, it's a vital process that helps our bodies repair and rejuvenate. Researchers have started to ...

New research sheds light on how cells repair damaged DNA. For the first time, the team has mapped the activity of repair proteins in individual human cells. The study demonstrates how these proteins ...

Cedars-Sinai researchers have created TY1, an experimental RNA-based drug that helps the body repair damaged DNA and restore injured tissue. The idea came from studying tiny molecular “messages” ...

Sleep is more than just a way to recharge—it’s essential for our body’s repair and recovery. Researchers have now discovered that sleep quality and timing can influence more than just how refreshed we ...

Following a double-strand DNA break, an enzyme called PARP1 helps hold the two strands together —like superglue— and creates a safe zone for other proteins to come repair the damage. We don’t exactly ...

The human genome consists of 3 billion base pairs, and when a cell divides, it takes about seven hours to complete making a copy of its DNA. That's almost 120,000 base pairs per second. At that ...

A clump of proteins seems to be in charge of the level of DNA repair that takes place in our bodies, determining how fast mutations accumulate in our cells over a lifetime – and might thus affect our ...

Anglia Ruskin University (ARU) provides funding as a member of The Conversation UK. Sleep isn’t just a luxury, it’s a vital process that helps our bodies repair and rejuvenate. Researchers have ...
