#New-Paper Rass laboratory reveal DNA2 to be a gatekeeper to homologous recombination at stalled DNA replication forks, rrequired to stave off cellular senescence. Their findings provide a molecular explanation for the association of DNA2 with primordial dwarfism and cancer.

DNA2 enables growth by restricting recombination-restarted replication - Nature
DNA2 suppresses recombination-restarted replication and checkpoint activation at stalled forks, and its loss triggers recombination-dependent synthesis, checkpoint signalling and cell-cycle exit, high...

👉EWS::FLI1 modulates R-loop metabolism via DHX9, driving increased vulnerability to TOP1-targeting agents.
👉Targeting TOP1 in EWS cells destabilizes the genome and provokes strong replication stress and cell death in EwS cells and tumors
