Genetically Engineered Mice Yield Clues To 'Knocking Out' Cancer
Wednesday, July 1, 2009 - 10:28
in Biology & Nature
Researchers have demonstrated that deleting two genes in mice responsible for repairing DNA strands damaged by oxidation leads to several types of tumors, providing additional evidence that such stress contributes to the development of cancer. The work may lead to the development of new measurement methods and reference materials for accurate and reproducible assessments of DNA damage and repair.
