Abstract excerpt
DNA damage checkpoint is one of the surveillance systems to maintain genomic integrity. Checkpoint systems sense the DNA damage and execute cell cycle arrest through inhibiting the activity of cell cycle regulators. This pathway is essential for the maintenance of genome stability and prevention of tumor development. Recent studies have showed that the cellular responses towards DNA damage, such as cell cycle...
