New paper from Cejka’s Lab : CtIP promotes DNA break repair
on April 3, 2020 When DNA breaks, cells need to join the broken DNA pieces in an accurate way to prevent mutations. Cells utilize the so-called homologous recombination pathway to achieve this goal. In the first step of this repair process, several nucleases remove one strand of double-stranded DNA near the break. This activity reveals […]
A molecular network to balance inflammatory programs in immune cells
on Monday, March 16, 2020 A research team led by the Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB) in Bellinzona, affiliated to the Università della Svizzera italiana, has identified a molecular network required to balance the responses of human lymphocytes. The activities of these immune cells must be carefully regulated in order to ensure an effective defense […]
