Embryonic stem (ES) cells are pluripotent stem cells that can produce all cell types of an organism. ES cells proliferate rapidly and have been thought to experience high levels of intrinsic ...
“Our lab is generally interested in discovering and characterizing previously unknown or poorly understood factors that are essential for genome maintenance. This is particularly important in the ...
Discovery reshapes understanding of how tumor cells repair broken DNA, pointing toward more precise cancer therapies.
Before a cell can divide, it has to precisely duplicate its entire genetic information. However, the DNA in the cell exists ...
Researchers have identified a physical process called “mitochondrial pearling” that explains how cells keep their ...
Mayo Clinic researchers have identified a protein that acts like a traffic controller for DNA, preventing damage during cell division - a discovery that could lead to new cancer therapies, according ...
Researchers at the University of Eastern Finland have discovered a novel mechanism safeguarding mitochondrial DNA. The study, published in PNAS earlier this week, was carried out in close ...
