New research uncovers critical DNA repair mechanism during cell division
A major advance in cell biology has revealed how our cells safeguard their genetic material during one of the most vulnerable moments in their life cycle. The study identifies a specific protein complex as a central coordinator of DNA repair during cell division.
Tumour samples from the 1950s could help unlock the mystery of rising bowel cancer cases in the under 50s

Researchers at The Institute of Cancer Research, London, and St Marks Hospital are launching a pioneering study to compare bowel cancer specimens from the 1960s with modern-day cancer samples.
