Genetically Engineered Mice Yield Clues to ‘Knocking Out’ Cancer
Date: 10.7.2009
Deleting two **genes** in mice responsible for **repairing DNA** strands damaged by oxidation leads to several types of **tumors**, providing additional evidence that such stress contributes to the development of **cancer**.
That’s the conclusion of a recent study in DNA Repair by researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU) and the New York University School of Medicine (NYUSM).
