Researchers from IRB discovered the function of the BRCA1 anti-cancer protein

Despite the known involvement of the BRCA1 protein in breast and ovarian cancer prevention, its precise function was poorly understood. A new study from the Cejka laboratory published in Nature shows that BRCA1 directly functions in DNA break repair by Homologous Recombination, preventing genetic instability. Bellinzona – September 11 2024 – Mutations in the BRCA1 […]
