Many of our physiological processes are orchestrated according to an instruction manual—our cellular DNA. However, DNA is susceptible to damage, which can accelerate aging and result in diseases such as cancer. So how can we prevent, mitigate, or even repair DNA damage?
If you were to unwind human DNA, it would be approximately two meters long; it’s structured like a long, twisted ladder, about 10 micrometers in diameter, and coiled within cells’ nuclei.
