Backup DNA repair system could be cancer's weak spot
The DNA inside our cells is constantly being damaged, and one of the worst kinds of damage is a double-strand break—when both sides of the DNA helix are cut at once. Healthy cells can normally fix ...
Three biochemical steps of the non-homologous DNA end-joining (NHEJ) process. This figure outlines the key stages of the NHEJ repair mechanism following DNA double-strand breaks. The process can be ...
