A University of Iowa-led study has revealed the unexpected structure adopted by the DNA repair protein RAD52 as it binds and ...

Cells use many complex genetic repair backup systems to fix DNA damage and remain healthy throughout their lives.

The double ring, spool-like structure of RAD52 protects replicating DNA in dividing cells. A study led by the University of ...

Research into transcription factors deepen understanding of the 'language' of the genome, offering insights into human development.

RAD52 has already shown promise as a drug target. Inhibitors of the protein can selectively kill cancerous cells while ...

A University of Iowa-led study has revealed the unexpected structure adopted by the DNA repair protein RAD52 as it binds and protects replicating DNA in dividing cells. This new structural and ...

Researchers say they have mapped more than 200,000 cells in a cubic millimeter of brain tissue and have traced how they're all connected.

Among the many marvels of life is the cell's ability to divide and thus enable organisms to grow and renew themselves. For this, the cell must duplicate its DNA—its genome—and segregate it equally ...
