Abstract excerpt
Radiation therapy is a key treatment for many cancers, but patient responses vary due to differences in genomic stability and DNA repair capacity. Increasing evidence highlights the role of Alu elements, the most abundant short interspersed nuclear elements in the human genome, as regulators of cellular stress responses. This review summarizes current knowledge on Alu biology, including their structure,...
