Drs Ursula A. Matulonis and Joyce F. Liu discuss targeting DNA damage and repair and replication stress in endometrial cancer.

MSK researchers are shedding new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that can cause DNA replication to stall. The structures are a potential therapeutic target in cancer. Image ...

Using cultured human cells with genome-edited TEFM knockout, the team studied the effects of deletion of TEFM on mtDNA replication. By knocking out TEFM, they observed a notable reduction in mtDNA ...

The fact that TAg was expressed after DNA replication suggested it was expressed too late to be responsible for driving cells into replicating their DNA. Sunnie Thompson, Ph.D. TAg expression and ...

Professor Morris added: "The finding that cellular nucleases and helicases can stop replication of certain sections of DNA was a surprise – it shows that cells closely co-ordinate their toolkit ...

An article by UAB professor Joan-Ramon Daban analyzes in depth the physical problems associated with DNA packaging that have ...
