A cancer drug target already being investigated in clinical trials turns out to be doing something even more consequential ...

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have identified an epigenetic target for replication stress, ...

Illustration of fork-MMEJ and BIR pathways in repairing single-ended DNA double-stranded breaks at broken replication forks, highlighting ATR-mediated regulation of the transition between these two ...

New research reveals that triggering a cell’s DNA damage response could be a promising avenue for developing novel treatments against several rare but devastating viruses for which no antiviral ...

CDT1 inhibits the helicase activity of the MCM complex, thereby suppressing nascent strand synthesis in DNA replication in cultured human cells. This action results in fork collapse and DNA damage, ...

The evidence "for Asf1 accepting histones at the replication fork was really interesting to me, as no factor involved in chromatin disassembly at the DNA replication fork has been proposed to date to ...

Embryonic stem (ES) cells are pluripotent stem cells that can produce all cell types of an organism. ES cells proliferate rapidly and have been thought to experience high levels of intrinsic ...

Oestrogen-induced DNA damage drives genomic instability in BRCA1 mutation cells, with dietary compounds showing protective potential.
