DNA repair: A look inside the cell's 'repair café'
SMRTR summary
Hubrecht Institute researchers have mapped DNA repair protein activity in individual human cells, discovering that repair proteins collaborate in "hubs" to fix DNA damage. These hubs can coordinate the repair of up to six DNA breaks simultaneously. This new insight into cellular DNA repair mechanisms could improve cancer treatments and therapies for genetic disorders. The study also revealed unique repair methods in individual cells.
