The chemical treatment of cancer started with the realization that DNA damaging agents such as mustard gas present notable antitumoural properties. Consequently, early drug …
Alterations in DNA damage response (DDR) pathways are hallmarks of cancer. Incorrect repair of DNA lesions often leads to genomic instability. Ataxia telangiectasia mutated …

The folate metabolism enzyme MTHFD2 (methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase/ cyclohydrolase) is consistently overexpressed in cancer but its roles are not fully …
The DNA damage response (DDR) represents a complex network of proteins which detect and repair DNA damage, thereby maintaining the integrity of the genome and preventing the …
Many conventional chemotherapies used in cancer treatment exert their effect by inflicting DNA damage. Highly proliferative tissues, as well as tumour cells, are particularly vulnerable …
