Every time a cell divides, it must copy its DNA with extraordinary precision. But this process is constantly challenged by ...
DNA repair mechanism: HELQ helicase remodels stalled replication forks into stable structures, preventing harmful mutations under replication stress. Advanced imaging tool: RF-SIRF maps reversed forks ...
A team of researchers at VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center has identified a new pathway through which mutations in the tumor suppressor p53 gene—found very frequently in human tumors—hijack DNA ...
The gene p53 acts as a tumor suppressor and often is called the ‘guardian of the genome.’ This gene is central to maintaining genomic stability, which prevents mutations from accumulating and leading ...
DNA polymerase epsilon catalytic subunit A (POLE) gene plays a crucial role in DNA repair and chromosomal replication. Mutations in the POLE gene have been linked to cancer, particularly colorectal ...
Drs Ursula A. Matulonis and Joyce F. Liu discuss targeting DNA damage and repair and replication stress in endometrial cancer. Drs Ursula A. Matulonis and Panagiotis A. Konstantinopoulos discuss ...
DNA replication is one of life’s most precise and essential processes, ensuring genetic information is faithfully passed from cell to cell and generation to generation. This remarkable molecular ...
