COLUMBUS, Ohio – Scientists have captured the most detailed structural images to date of a specific type of protein’s DNA repair process, a finding that could reveal ways to inhibit the effects of ...
Research shows that the breast cancer gene 1 (BRCA1) not only pushes accurate DNA repair to guard against cancer but promotes subsequent activity in tumor suppression. A new study led by The ...
PARP inhibitors (PARPi) leverage synthetic lethality in BRCA-deficient cancers, yet intrinsic resistance limits therapeutic benefit. Through functional proteomics, this study uncovers that PARPi ...
Scientists have captured the most detailed structural images to date of a specific type of protein’s DNA repair process, a finding that could reveal ways to inhibit the effects of BRCA1 and BRCA2 ...
When it comes to cancer, tumor suppressor genes are usually thought of as the "good guys." These genes make proteins that ...
Identifying BRCAness in tumors, even in the absence of BRCA mutations, broadens the reach of targeted therapies, supporting more individualized and effective cancer treatment approaches. BRCAness ...
DNA repair proteins act like the body's editors, constantly finding and reversing damage to our genetic code. Researchers have long struggled to understand how cancer cells hijack one of these ...
Scientists have identified a new class of targeted cancer drugs that offer the potential to treat patients whose tumours have faulty copies of the BRCA cancer genes. The drugs, known as POLQ ...
