OHSU researcher secures NIH grant to target tooth decay at its microbial roots
Una proteína causante de cáncer también ayuda a los tumores a reparar su ADN
Rosalie Sears, Ph.D., es la autora principal de un nuevo estudio publicado en Genes & Development. Su equipo en la OHSU descubrió que la proteína MYC —responsable del desarrollo del cáncer— también ayuda a las células tumorales dañadas a sobrevivir al tratamiento mediante la reparación de su ADN; un hallazgo que podría conducir a nuevas estrategias para hacer más eficaces la quimioterapia y otras terapias que dañan el ADN.

Cancer-causing protein also helps tumors repair their DNA
Rosalie Sears, Ph.D., is senior author of a new study published in Genes & Development. Her team at OHSU found that the cancer-driving protein MYC also helps damaged tumor cells survive treatment by repairing their DNA — a discovery that could lead to new strategies to make chemotherapy and other DNA-damaging therapies more effective.
