Visualizing and quantifying DNA replication dynamics in living human cells remains challenging. Here, a new super-resolution microscopy method, 3D-SPARK, maps changes in replication nanostructures in response to genetic perturbations or

What naked mole-rats lack in the looks department they make up for it in longevity, living healthily for nearly four decades. Now scientists have uncovered just how they repair their DNA – and it has the potential to be harnessed for humans to do the same.
