The role of DNA damage response in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a rapidly disabling and fatal neurodegenerative disease. Due to insufficient disease-modifying treatments, there is an unmet and urgent need for elucidating disease mechanisms that occur...

Interfaces between cellular responses to DNA damage and cancer immunotherapy.
The DNA damage response (DDR) fulfils essential roles to preserve genome integrity. Targeting the DDR in tumors has had remarkable success over the last decade, exemplified by the licensing of PARP inhibitors for cancer therapy....

Parallel CRISPR-Cas9 screens clarify impacts of p53 on screen performance
CRISPR-Cas9 genome engineering has revolutionised high-throughput functional genomic screens. However, recent work has raised concerns regarding the performance of CRISPR-Cas9 screens using TP53 wild-type human cells due to a...

p53 in senescence - it's a marathon, not a sprint.
The tumour suppressor p53, a stress-responsive transcription factor, plays a central role in cellular senescence. The role of p53 in senescence-associated stable proliferative arrest has been extensively studied. However...
