Homologous recombination has been recognized in recent years to be an important DNA repair pathway in mammalian cells, for such damage as chromosomal double-strand breaks. Cells mutated for the genes ...
Homologous recombination (HR) is a universal DNA repair mechanism that faithfully restores genomic integrity following double-strand breaks (DSBs) in DNA. The details concerning the transfer of ...
Poly ADP-ribose polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) are used for patients with advanced prostate cancer bearing alterations in homologous recombination repair (HRR) genes. We sought to characterize HRR gene ...
DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) induced by ionizing radiation pose a major threat to cell survival. The cell can respond to the presence of DSBs through two major repair pathways: homologous ...
Mistakes in DNA repair can lead to cancer. But they also present opportunities for treatment. Today at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium, MSK Radiation Oncology Chair Simon Powell discusses new ...
Frankenberg-Schwager, M., Gebauer, A., Koppe, C, Wolf, H., Pralle, E. and Frankenberg, D. Single-Strand Annealing, Conservative Homologous Recombination ...
Tokyo, Japan – Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have been studying DNA repair by homologous recombination, where the RecA protein repairs breaks in double-stranded DNA by incorporating a ...
A recent study, undertaken by researchers at the Tokyo Metropolitan University and the Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Medical Science (both Japan), unravels key steps in the process of homologous ...
The discovery of synthetic lethality between BRCA mutations and PARP inhibitors ranks has led to major advances in the treatment of BRCA-mutated cancers. Mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 can leave cells ...
