Why DNA MoVINg? It is an acronym for Mitochondria, Vascular, Immune and Neuro!

New publication from Menck's lab! ☀️ 💡In XPV cells, high mutation burden stems from oxidative damage to NER proteins, not just TLS defects 💡Antioxidants could help protect XP-V patients from UVA-driven mutagenesis by boosting DNA repair onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Check out the latest publication of Menck's lab! 🧬☀️ The study shows pyrimidine dimers are the primary lesions contributing to UVA-induced mutagenesis in human NER deficient cells and also that UVA induces mutational signatures similar to those of UVB!!! link.springer.com/article/10…

Excited to share our new publication in @repair_dna @Elsevier_Sci! We reveal the roles of Polɩ & Polκ in TMZ resistance in MGMT-deficient glioblastoma. Targeting these enzymes may boost TMZ's effectiveness. Huge thanks to Dr. Menck & @WoodgateLab for their support!!

No post do Dia das Mulheres e Meninas na Ciência, eu comentei que trabalhava com genes de reparo de DNA! Mas você sabe o que é reparo de DNA? 🧬 Vem que eu te explico neste fio! 🧵

Pretty new paper of my friend Fabiana León published in @Mut_Research! ☀️ Among the results, it shows that in C. crescentus, UVA and sunlight does not only activate photorepair, but also induce formation of lesions other than pyrimidine dimers. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
