Homologous recombination (HR) could be deleterious when cells are about to undergo division. The Cejka laboratory at the IRB identified a new PLK1-mediated mechanism, which down-regulates DNA end resection late in the cell cycle and hence prevents undesirable HR initiation. Bellinzona, February 8, 2023 – DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair is initiated by DNA end […]
