Although DNA is tightly packed and protected within the cell nucleus, it is constantly threatened by damage from normal ...
Mutations are changes in the molecular 'letters' that make up the DNA code, the blueprint for all living cells. Some of these changes can have little effect, but others can lead to diseases, including ...
Alcohol can harm more than your liver and heart—new insights reveal it damages DNA, increasing cancer risk. Experts explain ...
A new study shows that cancer damages its own DNA by pushing key genes to work too hard. Researchers found that the most ...
If severe DNA damage is not repaired, the consequences for the health of cells and tissues are dramatic. A study led by ...
Cancer genomes are the result of diverse mutation processes that have often accumulated over decades. Scientists from the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) and the Universities of Cambridge and ...
