A new study shows that cancer damages its own DNA by pushing key genes to work too hard. Researchers found that the most powerful genetic "on switches" in cancer cells, called super-enhancers, drive ...

A protein long studied for its role in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia now appears to serve a second, equally critical function, safeguarding the integrity of human DNA.

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, ...

The recent death of Dawson’s Creek star James Van Der Beek from bowel cancer, aged just 48, highlighted a worrying trend: cases of early-onset cancer are rising. Research recently published in The ...
