Simultaneously, the research team in CRAG led by Ana Caño Delgado discovered more details on the root growth and its post-damaged
cell repair capacity, which have been published in the Journal of Cell Science.
GSC resistance to radiation due to upregulation of pro-survival signaling and enhanced DNA
damage repair capacity.
«We think the higher the PSR - 1 level, the higher
the repair capacity of the molecule,» said Chen.
However, the body's
repair capacity is not sufficient in large bone fractures or defects, which often fail to heal without help.
Moreover, researchers analysed in detail the effect of these mutations by using advanced engineering and genetic edition techniques and were able to demonstrate that the mutations are pathogenic since they impair
the repair capacities of the EDC4 gene.
Cell and animal models with altered DNA
repair capacity: Several new genes for DNA repair have been identified following the publication of the human DNA sequence.
Greater DNA
repair capacity may explain why those eating plant - based diets appear to have fewer breaks in their chromosomes as they age.
Our DNA
repair capacity is essential to longevity, and a joint study by the United States Department of Agriculture with other organizations found that blueberry compounds are so effective at supporting this process that they may increase life span by an average of 28 %, or around 22 years in humans.
