Understanding NEIL1-RPA binding at the intersection of DNA repair and replication
Reactive oxygen species damage DNA through the oxidation of bases and can result in a variety of diseases such as cancer, accelerated aging, and neurodegeneration. Single-strand DNA, which exists transiently during replication, is especially sensitive to reactive oxygen species. Oxidized bases are readily repaired by the base excision repair (BER)… Read MoreAug. 23, 2024

Hitting A. baumannii where it hurts: novel insights into DNA repair pathways as therapeutic targets
Acinetobacter baumannii is a hospital-acquired human pathogen that can result in serious infections of the blood, wounds, lungs, and urinary tract. These infections are further complicated by rapid evolution of antibiotic resistance in this organism, making A. baumannii the fifth leading cause of antimicrobial resistance-associated deaths globally. There is,… Read MoreAug. 9, 2024
