repair mechanisms

That activates the cell's DNA repair mechanisms, but if the damage is too extensive to be repaired, the cell undergoes programmed suicide.

In the long-term evolution, the organism has developed a series of DNA damage repair mechanisms in response to DNA damage.

Radiation destroys DNA but this creature has a spare copies of the most vital bits, as well as speedy DNA repair mechanisms.

Eukaryotic cells employ multiple strategies of checkpoint signaling and DNA repair mechanisms to monitor and repair damaged DNA.

"One explanation may be that these species have, for whatever reason, less capable DNA repair mechanisms, " said Professor Mousseau.

Those who are most susceptible to the disease have over-zealous repair mechanisms that replace too much liver with useless scar tissue.

Previous research has already demonstrated that exercise after brain injury can help the repair mechanisms.

Scientists would alter these cells by inserting genes or activating the cells' DNA - repair mechanisms.

During those extra decades of life, natural cell-repair mechanisms may wear out and neural circuits wither, the researchers said.

One is that the microwaves create cellular stress in the brain, and that the stress jump-starts DNA repair mechanisms in the brain.

It is therefore worthwhile for people to evolve better repair mechanisms than mice, and thus to age more slowly.

Research Progress on DNA Repair Mechanisms of Deinococcus Radiodurans

Providing quick repair mechanisms (e. g. fast swap outs)
