How Cells Recognize and Repair DNA Damage

10/04/2024
NEAT1 is genome-protective in human U2OS cells. Accumulation of NEAT1 at DNA double-strand breaks (NGS data, top) and defects in DNA damage signaling in NEAT1-deficient cells (merged confocal imaging data, bottom).

Genome instability can cause numerous diseases. Cells have effective DNA repair mechanisms at their disposal. A research team at the University of Würzburg has now gained new insights into the DNA damage response.
