Multiple roles of ATM in monitoring and maintaining DNA integrity

Abstract excerpt

The ability of our cells to maintain genomic integrity is fundamental for protection from cancer development. Central to this process is the ability of cells to recognize and repair DNA damage and progress through the cell cycle in a regulated and orderly manner. In addition, protection of chromosome ends through the proper assembly of telomeres prevents loss of genetic information and aberrant chromosome...
