in Scientific Applications & Use Cases, Software & Microscope Integrated Systems, Stereo Investigator®, MBF Products & Service Solutions, Stereology
Comments

  DNA damage occurs in human cells at a constant rate. These cells are usually able to repair themselves, but sometimes deficiencies in certain genes cause the repair process to shut down. When damaged DNA isn't fixed, mutations can occur that cause accelerated aging or cancerous tumors to form (Hoeijmakers, 2009). Scientists at Erasmus University Medical Center in Rotterdam have found a way to slow down...
