Learn more about a new experimental procedure that uses cancer cells’ DNA repair system against itself to make drug-resistant ...

Cancer cells survive by repairing damage to their DNA—even damage that would normally be fatal. One of their most important ...

"The DNA inside our cells is constantly experiencing damage, and DNA repair is happening all the time to fix that damage and keep our cells healthy. Now, however, it seems these repair processes can ...

Outcomes of nephrectomy in patients with pathologic complete response to immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy for renal cell carcinoma: A multicenter study. Sarcomatoid versus rhabdoid ...

Researchers have revealed the structural mechanisms of a major DNA repair pathway in human cells. The research, published today as a Reviewed Preprint in eLife, is described by the editors as a ...

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 ...

Delve into the field of PARP inhibitors, a class that has gained traction in ovarian, breast, and prostate cancers.

The Pol-theta enzyme (blue) joins two parts of a broken DNA strand (yellow). This process is mutagenic and can give rise to cancer. LA JOLLA, CA—DNA repair proteins act like the body’s editors, ...

Mutational signatures etched into the cells' genome by an anti-cancer drug called temozolomide (TMZ) uncover an Achilles' heel for TMZ chemotherapy resistance, according to new research. In spite of ...
