Critical protein prevents DNA damage
A protein long known to be involved in protecting cells from genetic damage has been found to play an even more important role in protecting the cell’s offspring. New research by a team of researchers at Rockefeller University, Howard Hughes Medical Institute and the National Cancer Institute shows that the protein, known as ATM, is not only vital for helping repair double-stranded breaks in DNA of immune cells, but is also part of a system that prevents genetic damage from being passed on when the cells divide……..
