DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) can be repaired by either recombination-based or direct ligation-based mechanisms. Pathway choice is made at the level of DNA end resection, a nucleolytic processing step, which primes DSBs for repair by recombination ...

Reassessing the interpretation of oxidation–reduction potential in male infertility
Male Infertility Oxidative System (MiOXSYS) has been proposed as a rapid and promising technology for the evaluation of sperm oxidative stress. In this case–control study, 134 men with normal sperm parameters (NSP) and 574 men with abnormal sperm ...

Simultaneous Disruption of Two DNA Polymerases, Pol eta and Pol zeta, in Avian DT40 Cells Unmasks the Role of Pol eta in Cellular Response to Various DNA Lesions [PDF]
Replicative DNA polymerases are frequently stalled by DNA lesions. The resulting replication blockage is released by homologous recombination (HR) and translesion DNA synthesis (TLS). TLS employs specialized TLS polymerases to bypass DNA lesions.

Quantitative sensing and signalling of single-stranded DNA during the DNA damage response
DNA damage triggers checkpoint signalling mechanisms. Here the authors reveal differential phosphorylation of targets of the Mec1-Ddc2 checkpoint kinase by analyzing the effect of quantitatively different ssDNA signals.

The effect of green tea extract supplementation in bull semen cryopreservation [PDF]
This study aims to investigate the effect of catechin (CT), green tea extract, as a supplement to Tris extender on semen quality parameters in frozen-thawed of bull sperm. Ejaculates were taken with artificial vagina from Holstein bulls and divided equal
