Cooperation between the DNA recombinase RAD51 and the breast cancer susceptibility protein BRCA2 is crucial for the repair of double-strand DNA breaks. Two papers provide new insight into the ...
Homologous recombination (HR) comprises a series of interrelated pathways that function in the repair of DNA double-stranded breaks (DSBs) and interstrand crosslinks (ICLs). In addition, recombination ...
Therapeutic landscape of Rad51 in cancer treatment. Key elements include (1) DNA damage sources (PARPi, chemo/radiotherapy);(2) repair pathways (Rad51‐mediated HR); (3) intervention strategies (Rad51 ...
A paper describing discoveries about the role of a gene that is important in all animals, plants, and fungi is published in the 20 July 2004 issue of the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of ...
