A breakthrough live-cell sensor makes DNA repair visible as it happens, unlocking new possibilities in biology and medicine.
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 ...
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 DNA inside our cells is constantly being damaged, and one of the worst kinds of damage is a double-strand break—when both ...
