Cells are able to remember that DNA damage has occurred as they pass through the process of cell division, a new study reveals.

Scientists have devised a new technique that establishes the ‘postcode’ for proteins within cancer cells, as a faster, more accurate way of identifying signals that are driving cancer growth.
