Cancer cells that slip free of chemotherapy’s deadly embrace sometimes manage to do so because they possess slippery DNA repair proteins. Among the slipperiest are translesion synthesis (TLS) ...
Mutations in oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes are critical in the development of cancer. A major pathway for the formation of mutations is the replication of unrepaired DNA lesions. To better ...
Correlation between HER2 amplification level and response to neoadjuvant treatment with trastuzumab and chemotherapy in HER2 positive breast cancer. ER+ breast cancer response to NACT response and ...
Researchers have discovered a potential drug compound that can block a mutagenic DNA repair pathway that helps cancer cells survive chemotherapy. When they treated mice with this compound along with ...
Many chemotherapy drugs kill cancer cells by severely damaging their DNA. However, some tumors can withstand this damage by relying on a DNA repair pathway that not only allows them to survive, but ...
