Their findings, published in Nature Aging, describe a never-before-seen link between the two most accepted explanations: random genetic mutations and predictable epigenetic modifications.

This means that the damage has multiple chances to generate harmful mutations, which can lead to cancer. While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells' in-house DNA repair mechanisms ...
