Newly discovered protein holds DNA repair complex together

Scientists have discovered a protein that plays an important role in the repair of DNA damage. Acting like molecular glue, it holds together the crucial parts of the DNA repair complex, ensuring its correct functioning. This is important, as correct DNA repair is crucial to protects cells against aging.

Protein plays previously unknown role in repairing DNA damage

Researchers at Erasmus MC have discovered a new player in DNA damage repair. The protein HLTF plays a previously unknown role. ‘In retrospect, it makes sense that this step was missing.’

Menopause

Fertility is in the genes

At what age a woman reaches the menopause is partially decided by genetics. Especially genes for maintenance and repair of DNA are of importance. This has been shown by research involving scientists from Rotterdam.

New key player discovered in DNA repair

Scientists at Erasmus MC have discovered a new key player in a DNA repair process. Three players were already known. This fourth one appears to be the missing link, playing a special role in countering aging caused by DNA damage.
