120-150 / 1000+ resultsresearch Booby Trap: Cancer gene spurs production of DNA-assaulting chemicals that alert and defuse rescue molecule (Cancer; Oxidative damage)
The cancer gene c-Myc increases harmful chemicals that damage DNA and can lead to cancer, but antioxidants can reduce this damage.
research Uterus Hyperplasia and Increased Carcinogen-Induced Tumorigenesis in Mice Carrying a Targeted Mutation of the Chk2 Phosphorylation Site in Brca1
Mice with a specific BRCA1 mutation have a higher risk of tumors, especially in the uterus and ovaries.
research Transient mitochondrial DNA double strand breaks in mice cause accelerated aging phenotypes in a ROS-dependent but p53/p21-independent manner
Damaging mitochondrial DNA in mice speeds up aging due to increased reactive oxygen species, not through the p53/p21 pathway.
research Removing all obstacles: A critical role for p53 in promoting tissue renewal
The gene p53 is crucial for removing damaged cells to allow for healthy tissue renewal.
research Data from Spontaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma Induced by the Somatic Inactivation of <i>Retinoblastoma</i> and <i>Trp53</i> Tumor Suppressors
Loss of the p53 gene alone causes tumors, and losing both p53 and Rb genes speeds up aggressive skin cancer.
research `Cyclic alopecia' inMsx2mutants: defects in hair cycling and hair shaft differentiation
Msx2-deficient mice experience irregular hair growth and loss due to disrupted hair cycle phases.
research Spontaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma Induced by the Somatic Inactivation of Retinoblastoma and Trp53 Tumor Suppressors
Inactivating both p53 and Rb genes in mice speeds up aggressive skin cancer development.
research Data from Spontaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma Induced by the Somatic Inactivation of <i>Retinoblastoma</i> and <i>Trp53</i> Tumor Suppressors
Loss of the p53 gene alone causes tumors, and losing both p53 and Rb genes speeds up aggressive skin cancer.
research Replicative stress, stem cells and aging
Maintaining DNA health in stem cells is key to preventing aging and tissue breakdown.
research Exact, time-independent estimation of clone size distributions in normal and mutated cells
A new method accurately estimates clone sizes in cells without considering time.
