DNA can be damaged in many ways, through both internal and external mechanisms. Usually, there are DNA repair mechanisms in place to prevent physiological problems from occurring as a result of this damage. However, if there is too much damage, these mechanisms will not be able to fix the ...
The frightening thing about Amanita poisoning is the “walking ghost” phase—the period where you seem to be fine (or getting better), but your cells are accumulating irreversible and lethal damage. This pattern is typical of DNA damage, and we’d likely see something like it in someone who...
It has been generally believed that biological significance of DNA damage checkpoint is time-sparing for DNA damage repair. However, some lines of evidence, which is obtained from radiation biology, casts doubt on the well-known paradigm. The first evidence is: there is no significant difference ...
Whitaker SJ (1992) DNA damage by drugs and radiation: what is important and how is it measured? Eur J Cancer 28: 273-276.Whitaker, S.J. (1992) DNA damage by drugs and radiation: what is important and how is it measured? Eur J Cancer, 28, 273-6....
Why is DNA negatively charged? What is exome sequencing and what are its advantages/disadvantages over whole genome sequencing? What are the key differences between DNA and RNA? What are some causes of DNA damage? What effect does DNA damage have?
DNA are not corrected in the somatic cells, it may leads to the development of cancer or it results in the loss of function of genes. More than that, if DNA damages occur in the gametes is not rectified, it will be carried over to next generation through progenies. Thus, damage to ...
What is a data breach? A data breach is any security incident in which unauthorized parties access sensitive or confidential information, including personal data (Social Security numbers, bank account numbers, healthcare data) and corporate data (customer records, intellectual property, financial infor...
\{DNA\} damage detected by genotoxicity biomarkers such as the Comet assay is not always a reliable indicator of the consequences that genotoxic agents can have on the genome integrity of the exposed organisms. Therefore, to reveal the existence of more permanent alterations of \{DNA\} structure...
What's the Damage? Abnormality in Solid Physical Objects The representation of damage to solid physical objects is complex in nature. Beginning with real world usecases of partially damaged used goods, we derive the description of damage through the approach of representing partial abnormality... Yi...
NAD is a coenzyme of vitamin B3 (niacin) that is necessary for several metabolic processes. NAD+ (with the extra boost from ginseng and vitamin B12) supports high energy and a healthier metabolism, decreases inflammation, repairs damaged DNA, and activates enzymes to facilitate important bodily pr...
