    Welcome

    Welcome to an educational journey into DNA repair. We are thrilled to begin exploring. Let's start now!

    DNA Damage

      DNA Integrity

      DNA is constantly exposed to damaging agents which ensures genetic information is accurately preserved.

      DNA Damage Causes

      DNA damage is caused by external sources such as radiation, chemicals, and internal metabolic processes which causes the risk.

      Repair Importance

      DNA repair mechanisms are essential for maintaining genomic stability and preventing mutations which helps to secure from risk.

      Cellular Defense

      DNA repair pathways act as a cellular defense system by identifying and correcting DNA damage.

      Health Impact

      Effective DNA repair is crucial for preventing cancer, aging, and other diseases which is beneficial for human being.

      Repair Pathways

        Base Excision

        Damaged or modified bases are removed by DNA glycosylases, followed by AP endonuclease and polymerase activity.

        Nucleotide Excision

        Bulky DNA lesions, such as thymine dimers, are removed through incision, excision, and repair synthesis and helps to cure.

        Mismatch Repair

        Incorrectly paired bases are identified and corrected by MutS, MutL, and MutH proteins which makes it efficient.

        Homologous Recombination

        Double-strand breaks are repaired using a homologous template, ensuring accurate restoration of genetic information which results good.

        Non-Homologous

        Broken DNA ends are directly ligated, often resulting in small insertions or deletions which leads to stability.

        Clinical Relevance

          Cancer Development

          Defects in DNA repair pathways increase the risk of mutations, leading to cancer development and progression.

          Aging Process

          Accumulation of DNA damage contributes to cellular senescence and aging, affecting overall health and longevity.

          Therapeutic Targets

          DNA repair pathways are potential targets for cancer therapy, aiming to enhance the effectiveness of treatments.

          Genetic Disorders

          Inherited mutations in DNA repair genes can cause genetic disorders, such as Xeroderma Pigmentosum and Fanconi Anemia.

          Personalized Medicine

          Understanding individual variations in DNA repair capacity can inform personalized medicine approaches and improve patient outcomes.
