The progress in nucleotide excision repair research could be traced in the journey of cells--from donor, to clinician, to repository, to researcher, and into the literature. The journey began with a ...

Researchers have discovered how the protein XPD detects severe DNA damage and controls its repair. The XPD protein is a central component of our body's own "DNA repair team," known as nucleotide ...

Researchers decode repair mechanism during transcription of genetic information. Cockayne syndrome is a severe autosomal recessive disorder caused by defective DNA repair mechanisms. People with the ...
