"The DNA inside our cells is constantly experiencing damage, and DNA repair is happening all the time to fix that damage and keep our cells healthy. Now, however, it seems these repair processes can ...

Delve into the field of PARP inhibitors, a class that has gained traction in ovarian, breast, and prostate cancers.

Outcomes of nephrectomy in patients with pathologic complete response to immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy for renal cell carcinoma: A multicenter study. Sarcomatoid versus rhabdoid ...

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, ...

Researchers have revealed the structural mechanisms of a major DNA repair pathway in human cells. The research, published today as a Reviewed Preprint in eLife, is described by the editors as a ...

Researchers have captured the most detailed structural images yet of a DNA repair process that helps BRCA-mutated cancer cells survive, revealing how the RAD52 protein and its yeast ancestor Mgm101 ...

Aston University bioscientist Dr John Reynolds has won a £125,000 Springboard grant from the Academy of Medical Sciences (AMS) for research into neurodegeneration caused by a rare genetic disease.

Mutational signatures etched into the cells' genome by an anti-cancer drug called temozolomide (TMZ) uncover an Achilles' heel for TMZ chemotherapy resistance, according to new research. In spite of ...
