The major pathways of DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair are crucial for maintaining
genomic stability. However, if deployed in an inappropriate cellular context, these same …

The relationships between inflammation and cancer are varied and complex. An important
connection linking inflammation to cancer development is DNA damage. During …

Base and prime editors (BEs and PEs) may provide more precise genetic engineering than
nuclease-based approaches because they bypass the dependence on DNA double-strand …

Gene therapy has long held promise to correct a variety of human diseases and defects.
Discovery of the Clustered Regularly-Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR), the …

Despite advances in biology and therapeutic modalities, existence of highly tumorigenic
glioma stem-like cells (GSCs) makes glioblastomas (GBMs) invincible. N6-methyl adenosine …
