Homologous recombination (HR) is a universal DNA repair mechanism that faithfully restores genomic integrity following double-strand breaks (DSBs) in DNA. The details concerning the transfer of ...

Poly ADP-ribose polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) are used for patients with advanced prostate cancer bearing alterations in homologous recombination repair (HRR) genes. We sought to characterize HRR gene ...

When DNA breaks, cells must repair it accurately to prevent harmful mutations. Researchers have discovered that during a key ...

Homologous Recombination Deficiency Landscape of Breast Cancers and Real-World Effectiveness of Poly ADP-Ribose Polymerase Inhibitors in Patients With Somatic BRCA1/2, Germline PALB2, or Homologous ...

TARGETED treatments for prostate cancer were a central theme at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress ...

Tokyo, Japan – Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have been studying DNA repair by homologous recombination, where the RecA protein repairs breaks in double-stranded DNA by incorporating a ...

A recent study, undertaken by researchers at the Tokyo Metropolitan University and the Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Medical Science (both Japan), unravels key steps in the process of homologous ...

The FDA approved niraparib and abiraterone acetate plus prednisone for BRCA2-mutated mCSPC, based on the AMPLITUDE trial's rPFS results. FDA approves a new treatment combining niraparib and ...

Identifying BRCAness in tumors, even in the absence of BRCA mutations, broadens the reach of targeted therapies, supporting more individualized and effective cancer treatment approaches. BRCAness ...

When DNA breaks, cells must repair it accurately to prevent harmful mutations. Researchers have discovered that during a key repair process called homologous recombination, the cell uses loops in its ...
