6. The consequences of DNA lesions for mitochondrial DNA maintenance
Abstract : Eukaryotic cells have their own energy-producing organelles called mitochondria. The energy is stored in the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) molecule and is produced via the oxidative phosphorylation process inside the mitochondria. Thirteen of the essential proteins required for this process are encoded on the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). READ MORE

7. Single DNA Molecule Analysis – New Tools for Medical Diagnosis
Abstract : The DNA molecule, the blueprint of life, contains an enormous amount of information. The information is coded by the combination of four bases; adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine, that, together with the sugar-phosphate backbones, make up the DNA double helix. READ MORE

8. Primary Sjögren's Syndrome: Studies of DNA damage responses and autoantibodies
Abstract : Primary Sjögren’s syndrome (SS) is a chronic autoimmune disease of unknown etiology. The disease primarily involves lachrymal and salivary glands, leading to dryness of the eyes and mouth, but a wide spectrum of exocrine and non-exocrine disease manifestations may be seen. READ MORE

9. The role of chromatin in the induction and repair of DNA damage
Abstract : The role of chromatin in the induction and repair of DNA damage has a dual nature.The constituent proteins of chromatin protect the DNA against the induction of DNAdamage, while at the same time they reduce the accessibility of DNA to repair enzymes. READ MORE

10. Evolving the Methodology for Detection of Primary DNA Damage : Development, adaptation and assessment of the single cell gel electrophoresis (comet) assay
Abstract : Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is one of the most important molecules in nature. It is the fundamental carrier of evolutionary information and constitutes the genetic blueprint of all living organisms. Being the sole source of information, it is vital for the cell to transmit the correct genetic information from generation to generation. READ MORE
