Researchers Uncover DNA Damage Checkpoint Surveillance Mechanism

In current health lore, antioxidants are all the rage, as “everybody knows” that reducing the amount of “reactive oxygen species” -- cell-damaging molecules that are byproducts of cellular metabolism -- is critical to staying healthy. What everyone doesn’t know is that our bodies already have a complex set of processes built into our cells that handle these harmful byproducts of living and repair the damage they cause.
