New Tool for Rapid DNA Damage Analysis Promises to Make Impact on Human Health, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Study

Azo Nanotechnology -- Our DNA is under constant siege from a variety of damaging agents. Damage to DNA and the ability of cells to repair that damage has broad health implications, from aging and heritable diseases to cancer. Unfortunately, the tools used to study DNA damage are quite limited, but MIT researchers have developed a new tool for rapid DNA damage analysis that promises to make an impact on human health.
