A brain disorder associated with chronic repeated head blows, may also have a genetic component. A new study from Boston Children’s Hospital reveals DNA damage, similar to Alzheimer’s disease in the ...

The precise biological process behind the increased risk of melanoma previously remained unclear, and the study found the use of indoor tanning beds led to a nearly threefold increase in melanoma risk ...

CDT1 inhibits the helicase activity of the MCM complex, thereby suppressing nascent strand synthesis in DNA replication in cultured human cells. This action results in fork collapse and DNA damage, ...

University of Utah researchers at the Pulst-Scoles Laboratory have discovered that reducing levels of the STAUFEN-1 protein can prevent neuron death caused by DNA damage and p53 activation in ...

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 ...

Ultraviolet light causes damage to DNA, leads to cancer and photoaging: age spots and wrinkles. I was curious about this because UV is technically non-ionizing. A photon of UV doesn't have enough ...
