Researchers discovered a previously unknown function of RNA, potentially opening the door to new ways to treat cancer and neurodegenerative diseases.

Identifying the molecular repair kits that cells use to fix damaged DNA has won three scientists the 2015 Nobel Prize in chemistry. Tomas Lindahl of the Francis Crick Institute in England, Paul ...

Tomas Lindahl, Paul Modrich and Aziz Sancar split the 2015 Nobel Prize in chemistry for mechanistic studies of DNA repair.

DNA damage repair. A Nature Reviews Molecular Cell biology focus issue on the crosstalk between different DNA damage repair pathways.

Researchers have pieced together the lesser-known DNA repair pathway, called polymerase theta-mediated end joining. Their findings may lead to therapies for cancer.

When DNA is damaged, a cell stops dividing and recruits “lifeguard proteins” and repair proteins to get its life cycle back on track.

Scientists discovered that a well-known DNA repair pathway, the Fanconi anemia pathway, surprisingly plays a key role in repairing double-strand DNA breaks created by CRISPR-Cas9. It acts as a ...
