Surprisingly, forcing an acceleration of replication forks led to miscoordination between genome replication completion and cell cycle progression. Dr. Tsubouchi concludes, "We propose that slow ...

New research reveals that triggering a cell’s DNA damage response could be a promising avenue for developing novel treatments against several rare but devastating viruses for which no antiviral ...

CDT1 inhibits the helicase activity of the MCM complex, thereby suppressing nascent strand synthesis in DNA replication in cultured human cells. This action results in fork collapse and DNA damage, ...

Mouse ES cells present active origin firing and replication forks that progress slowly throughout S phase. These features are integral aspects of genome replication ensuring genome integrity in ES ...
