The INO80 chromatin remodelling complex has various roles in genome maintenance, acting via nucleosome sliding and H2A.Z removal. Here, it is shown to also facilitate the bypass of DNA lesions during ...

King’s College London researchers discovered that parts of our DNA once thought to be “junk” can actually help destroy cancer ...

A powerful new discovery reveals that Nup98 a protein once thought to only ferry molecules through the nucleus plays a vital role in safeguarding the most vulnerable areas of DNA. By forming ...

You can always be judged by your scars. This is the idea that sums up what researchers at Spanish National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO) claim is one of the new breakthroughs in basic and biomedical ...

DNA repair proteins act like the body's editors, constantly finding and reversing damage to our genetic code. Researchers have long struggled to understand how cancer cells hijack one of these ...

Tea will be served at 12:45 p.m., immediately preceding the seminar.

This came up in a front page discussion recently, and I promised I'd do a bit of a brain dump. The motivation: people often talk about whether we're regulating the risks posed by exposure to radiation ...

A new study of the bizarre naked mole rat shows that the animals have evolved a DNA repair mechanism that could explain their longevity. These burrow-dwelling rats have a maximum life span of nearly ...
