Studying the intricacies of homologous recombination and abnormal chromosome bridges - EurekAlert
<p><strong>Homologous recombination (HR) is an essential process by which cells repair damaged DNA and maintain genomic stability. However, many unanswered questions persist regarding the functions of specific proteins and enzymes involved in the pathway underlying HR. In a recent study, researchers from Japan shed light on the role of FIGNL1, a specialized enzyme that regulates a key protein in HR called RAD51. Their findings could contribute to the accelerated development of genetic engineering and advance anticancer therapies.</strong></p>
