DNA replication is the biological process by which an exact copy of a deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) molecule is created and it is the basis for biological inheritance. Each of the two strands of the ...

Witness the fascinating world of DNA replication brought to life through magnetic ball experiments. These magnetic games use a unique visual approach to demonstrate how the building blocks of life ...

LIG4 syndrome is an exceptionally rare disorder caused by a genetic mutation that prevents the body from repairing damaged ...

[Editors' note: this paper was reviewed by Review Commons.] Cancer cells display high levels of oncogene-induced replication stress (RS) and rely on DNA damage checkpoint for viability. This feature ...

Version of Record: This is the final version of the article. The manuscript by Coquel et al. investigates the effects of BKC and IBC, two compounds found in Psoralea corylifolia in DNA replication and ...

DNA repair and replication stress responses enable cancer cells to maintain optimal genome plasticity and also allow them to survive treatment with chemotherapeutic agents. Furthermore, cancers ...

DNA replication is happening continuously throughout the body, as many as trillions of times per day. Whenever a cell divides -- whether to repair damaged tissue, replace old cells, or simply to ...

The study explores DNA damage and repair in neurons, which lack replication checkpoints due to their non-dividing nature. It reveals that DNA damage itself acts as a checkpoint, limiting genomic ...

With an estimated 200 billion trillion stars in the observable universe, the existence of other technological species is ...

DNA replication is happening continuously throughout the body, as many as trillions of times per day. Whenever a cell divides—whether to repair damaged tissue, replace old cells, or simply to help the ...

DNA damage can result in the genetic sequence being misread and copied during cell division -- known as DNA replication -- and this introduces permanent mutations that can contribute to the ...
