Just 10 minutes of exercise each day can halt bowel cancer growth and speed up DNA damage repair, a study has found.

Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic ...

The study looked at blood samples from 30 overweight adults taken before and immediately after a max-effort cycling workout, which lasted about 10 to 12 minutes. They then exposed human colon cancer ...

Organisms like eukaryotes and prokaryotes have sophisticated mechanisms of DNA repair after damage. Failure of repairing the DNA damage is considered to be the cause of induction of cell death, ...

Alcohol consumption leads to the formation of a toxic compound called acetaldehyde, which damages DNA. A research team from IOCB Prague has now described in detail how cells repair this damaged ...

What scientists long believed were knots in DNA may actually be persistent twists formed during nanopore analysis, revealing ...

Just 10 minutes of daily exercise can trigger powerful molecular changes that help slow bowel cancer growth, repair DNA ...

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 ...

Alcohol consumption leads to the formation of a toxic compound called acetaldehyde, which damages DNA. A research team from IOCB Prague has now described in detail how cells repair this damaged ...

The study, which was published in the journal Science Advances, links indoor tanning to a three-times greater risk of ...

Are you aware? Oxidative stress is known to damage sperm DNA, reducing fertility and increasing the risk of complications.
