Deinococcus radiodurans is renowned for its extraordinary resistance to ionising radiation and other environmental stresses. This bacterium employs a combination of passive and active mechanisms to ...

The human genome is contained within the nucleus of cells. The genome is well protected, but many things can cause DNA damage, including aging, some drugs, and environmental factors like UV rays or ...

Bowhead whales, living over two centuries, defy cancer risks due to exceptional DNA repair, not more tumor suppressors.

Researchers have uncovered how specific DNA rearrangements called inverted triplications contribute to the development of various genetic diseases. The study reveals that during DNA repair, segments ...

Homologous recombination is a DNA repair mechanism that counteracts double-stranded breaks in DNA. Researchers at Kindai University have recently revealed how the Sae2 protein coordinates with the ...

As humans age, we become more vulnerable to cancer and other diseases. Bowhead whales, however, can live for up to 200 years while staying remarkably disease resistant.
