dna repair

For the first time, researchers have witnessed the spontaneous repair of damage to DNA molecules in real time.

They observed this at the level of a single DNA molecule. Insight into this type of repair mechanism is essential as errors in this process can lead to the development of cancerous cells.

(Delft University of Technology) For the first time, researchers at Delft University of Technology have witnessed the spontaneous repair of damage to DNA molecules in real time.

They observed this at the level of a single DNA molecule. Insight into this type of repair mechanism is essential as errors in this process can lead to the development of cancerous cells.

Researchers from the Kavli Institute of Nanoscience Delft publish this in the leading scientific journal Molecular Cell.
