While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells' in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research shows. This means that ...

From the time we are conceived and through old age, genetic mutations accumulate in all our tissues, eluding the body’s typically efficient DNA repair machinery and potentially affecting our health ...

A South Korean research team is developing an anticancer technology that selectively targets DNA mutations found only in ...

암세포에만 존재하는 돌연변이를 유전자가위로 찾아내 선택적으로 공격하는 항암 기술이 개발됐다. 정상세포까지 공격해 부작용을 일으키거나 암 종에 따라 효과가 달라지는 기존 항암치료의 한계를 뛰어넘는 기술이다. 이론적으로 모든 ...

In simple terms: a mutation is a stable change in genetic sequence that can be copied when cells or viruses replicate. Most mutations have no detectable effect, some contribute to disease, and a small ...

While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells’ in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research shows. This means that ...

A domestic research team is developing an anticancer technology that attacks DNA mutations found only in cancer cells while ...

Researchers have refined a powerful DNA sequencing tool that can uncover hidden mutations that occur naturally in our bodies as we age. In the largest study to date, they have used the tool to provide ...

Scientists at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have developed a novel artificial intelligence tool that not only identifies disease-causing genetic mutations but also predicts the type of ...
