My first post on bsky to share our latest research in @nature.com: “DNA2 enables growth by restricting recombination-restarted replication” - defines DNA2’s essential function & elucidates links with primordial dwarfism and cancer. Thanks to the lab, collaborators & @ukri.org @acmedsci.bsky.social
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...

Cytarabine has been the mainstay for AML treatment for over 50 years. This chemotherapy can lead to problems with movement and balance. Here we explain this neurotoxic side-effect. www.nature.com/articles/s41... Work led by Jia-Cheng Liu, Donpeng Wang and Elsa Callen and terrific collaborators!
Mechanism of cytarabine-induced neurotoxicity - Nature
Certain antimetabolites used to treat cancer are more neurotoxic than others, and it is now shown that this is due to their greater tendency to generate DNA double-stranded breaks, whereas less n...

Q: how does chromatin move?

Using MINFLUX, SPT & SRLCI, we track chromatin dynamics across 7 orders of magnitude in time to provide answers www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

this week 20 years ago, Nature published two seminal papers showing for the first time that BRCA-mutant cells were selectively sensitive to PARP inhibitors, paving the way for clinical trials and approval of PARP inhibitors for patients with BRCA-mutant ovarian and breast cancers, and beyond.

Excited to share our new pre-print. Direct, ensemble FRET assays developed by our lab reveal that assembly of Rad51 filaments at stalled replication sites via RPA/Rad51 exchange causes complete & irreversible PCNA unloading. Big implications for interplay between human DNA damage tolerance pathways
