Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Regulation of pancreatic beta-cell mass is essential to preserve sufficient insulin levels for the maintenance of glucose homeostasis. Previously, we reported that DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) resulting from nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ) deficiency induce apoptosis and, when combined with p53 deficiency, progressed rapidly into lymphomagenesis in mice. Combination of NHEJ deficiency with a...
