A needle in a haystack: how does a broken DNA molecule get repaired?

03 May 2012

Scientists from the Kavli Institute of Nanoscience at Delft University of Technology have discovered a key element in the mechanism of DNA repair. When the DNA double helix breaks, the broken end goes searching for the similar sequence and uses that as a template for repair. Using a smart new dual-molecule technique, the Delft group has now found out how the DNA molecule is able to perform this...

Over the last 40 years, productivity in the Nursing, Residential Care and Homecare (NRH) sector has decreased. The decrease was especially substantial in the period since 1997. This doesn’t mean that care workers no longer work as hard as they used to, but it could be related to the rising care burden. However, while productivity has decreased, the quality of the care provided has increased. This...
