An Important Role for CDK2 in G1 to S Checkpoint Activation and DNA Damage Response in Human Embryonic Stem Cells
18 Feb 2011
Abstract excerpt
A precise understanding of mechanisms used by human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) to maintain genomic integrity is very important for their potential clinical applications. The G1 checkpoint serves to protect genomic integrity and prevents cells with damaged DNA from entering S-phase. Previously, we have shown that downregulation of cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) in hESC causes G1 arrest, loss of pluripotency,...
