UK: A recent study finds that acute exercise suppresses colorectal cancer progression by altering the circulating proteome, accelerating DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) repair, and boosting PNKP ...

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 ...

Researchers at The Institute of Cancer Research, London, have uncovered how the DNA repair enzyme XPF-ERCC1 is recruited to sites of damage and activated inside cells, resolving a long-standing ...

A team of researchers from the Andalusian Centre for Molecular Biology and Regenerative Medicine (CABIMER) and the University of Seville, in collaboration with the Virgen Macarena University Hospital, ...

Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During that process, enzymes known as polymerases race along the DNA to copy its ...
