Abstract excerpt
Many anti-cancer drugs used in the clinic today damage DNA, resulting in cell death either directly or following DNA replication. Many anti-cancer drugs are exclusively toxic to replicating cells and toxic lesions are formed when a replication fork encounters a damaged DNA template. Recent work shows that replication lesions, similar to those produced during anti-cancer therapy, are commonly associated with...
