For almost 60 years, scientists have tried to understand why DNA doesn't replicate wildly and uncontrollably every time a cell divides – which they need to do constantly. Without this process, we ...

DNA, though tightly packed in the nucleus, is constantly threatened by damage from metabolism and external stressors. One particularly severe form of DNA damage is the so-called DNA–protein crosslinks ...

Although DNA is tightly packed and protected within the cell nucleus, it is constantly threatened by damage from normal ...

If severe DNA damage is not repaired, the consequences for the health of cells and tissues are dramatic. A study led by ...

(Nanowerk News) If measured from beginning to end, the DNA in our cells is too long to fit into the cell’s nucleus, explaining why it must be constantly folded and packaged. When it is time for cell ...
