Compact Self-Repairing DNA Lattices
Self-repair is essential to all living systems, providing the ability to remain functional in spite of gradual damage. In the context of self-assembly of self-repairing synthetic biomolecular systems, recently Winfree developed a method for transforming a set of DNA tiles into its selfhealing counterpart at the cost of increasing the lattice area by a factor of 25. The overall focus of this pap...
متن کاملSensing and repairing DNA double-strand breaks.
The DNA double-strand break (DSB) is the principle cytotoxic lesion for ionizing radiation and radio-mimetic chemicals but can also be caused by mechanical stress on chromosomes or when a replicative DNA polymerase encounters a DNA single-strand break or other type of DNA lesion. DSBs also occur as intermediates in various biological events, such as V(D)J recombination in developing lymphoid ce...
متن کاملATM to the Rescue: Repairing DNA Damage
Human genetic disorders present a logical starting point for the identification and functional analysis of numerous proteins. In addition to understanding a disease and searching for a cure, the identification of a “culprit” gene and the corresponding protein may shed light on fundamental biological processes. The human autosomal recessive disorder ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) is a prime example...

متن کاملBrain-repairing cells follow trail of GABA
Building memories with actin M emories aren’t made of actin fi laments. But their assembly is crucial for long-term potentiation (LTP), an increase in synapse sensitivity that researchers think helps to lay down memories. Rex et al. reveal that LTP’s actin reorganization occurs in two stages that are controlled by different pathways, a discovery that helps explain why it is easy to encode new m...
