Abstract excerpt
The genetic information is continuously subjected to the attack by endogenous and exogenous chemical and physical carcinogens that damage the DNA template, thus compromising its biochemical functions. Despite the multiple and efficient DNA repair systems that have evolved to cope with the large variety of damages, some lesions may persist and, as a consequence, interfere with DNA replication. By essence, the...
