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

Short bursts of activity for 10 minutes daily could not only increase your fitness levels, but also help fight bowel cancer, also known as colorectal cancer ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Cancer research, drug safety testing and ageing biology may all gain a major boost from a new fluorescent sensor developed at Utrecht University. This new tool allows scientists to watch DNA damage ...

Deep in Arctic waters, the Greenland shark can liveup to 400 years, a record among vertebrates. Scientists have now decoded ...

Rare inherited genetic variants significantly increase familial lung cancer risk, offering new targets for early detection.
