Some DNA repair enzymes can relocate to the part of the cell that needs their help, a team of scientists has found. The signal that prompts relocation is oxidative stress, an imbalance of cellular metabolism connected with several human diseases. The study resulted in a new level of understanding of the cell's response to genetic damage ad could lead to new targets for anti-cancer drugs that interfere with DNA repair.
