In a nutshell Scientists discovered that random DNA mutations don’t just cause local damage, they trigger widespread changes ...

In a groundbreaking shift in our understanding of mutations, researchers have discovered types of DNA damage in healthy cells ...

While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells’ in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research shows. This means that ...
