The ataxia telangiectasia-mutated and Rad3-related (ATR) kinase is a master regulator of the cellular response to replication stress and DNA damage. ATR detects stretches of single-stranded DNA coated ...
Despite the significance of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in solid tumor treatment, identifying ICI-sensitive populations remains a challenge. Mutations in DNA damage response (DDR) pathway ...
Extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) is a unique form of circular DNA that exists outside of normal chromosomes. Found exclusively in tumor cells, it often carries cancer-promoting genes (oncogenes) and is ...
A new review brings attention to the STING pathway as a critical regulator in both colitis and colon cancer, highlighting its complex and often opposing roles in inflammation and tumor development.
Every time a cell divides, it must copy its DNA with extraordinary precision. But this process is constantly challenged by DNA damage. Among the most dangerous lesions are DNA interstrand crosslinks ...
DNA sits in sunlight every day, absorbing ultraviolet radiation that can set off the kind of chemical changes linked to ...
Signal transduction The cellular process that converts a signal, such as a hormone, growth factor, neurotransmitter, cytokine, mechanical force, or environmental cue, into biochemical changes inside ...
A new study suggests melatonin supplements may help night shift workers boost their body's DNA repair processes, potentially offsetting some of the damage linked to working overnight. The findings are ...
Artios Pharma collected $115 million from an oversubscribed series D that will support its growing ambitions for its pipeline of DNA damage response (DDR)-targeting cancer prospects. The biotech is ...
