Abstract excerpt
Cumulative evidence indicates that breast cancer-associated gene 1 (BRCA1) participates in DNA damage repair and cell-cycle checkpoint control, serving as a tumor susceptibility gene to maintain the global genomic stability. However, whether BRCA1 has a direct role in cell proliferation and differentiation, two key biological functions in tumorigenesis, remains unclear. Here we demonstrate BRCA1 mediates...
