Cancer research, drug safety testing and aging biology may all gain a major boost from a new fluorescent sensor developed at Utrecht University. This new tool allows scientists to watch DNA damage and ...

DNA can sustain serious injuries called double strand breaks, in which both strands of the helix snap. These breaks are among the most dangerous forms of DNA damage and immediately trigger the cell's ...

A new fluorescent sensor is giving scientists an unprecedented view of how cells respond to DNA damage, capturing the repair process as it unfolds in real time. The tool, developed at Utrecht ...

Scientists at Utrecht University have developed a unique fluorescent sensor that lets us watch DNA damage and repair happen live inside living cells and organisms. Instead of relying on still ...

This footage shows the fluorescent sensors in action inside a living cell. They appear as bright green spots the moment they bind to sites of DNA damage. Cancer research, drug safety testing and ...
