DNA repair in cancer initiation, progression, and therapy—a double-edged sword
30 Aug 2019
Abstract excerpt
Genomic and mitochondrial DNA molecules are exposed continuously for a damaging activity of chemical, physical, and internal genotoxicants. When DNA repair machinery is not working efficiently, the generation of DNA lesions and mutations leads to carcinogenic transformation. The high number of mutation going up to 10 5 per cell was recognized as a driving force of oncogenesis. Moreover, a high activity of DNA...
