Scripps Research Institute Dec 4 2025 The DNA inside our cells is constantly being damaged, and one of the worst kinds of damage is a double-strand break-when both sides of the DNA helix are cut at once. Healthy cells can normally fix these breaks using highly precise repair systems, but when those systems fail, cells sometimes resort to a less accurate backup method. Now, scientists at Scripps Research have discovered when and how this backup repair pathway gets activated, and how the process
