Cancer's 'rogue DNA' relies on two proteins to prevent and repair breaks
Researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) and their colleagues have discovered that a type of rogue DNA found in aggressive cancers has a hidden structural weakness—and that blocking a single repair protein can cause it to fall apart, suggesting a new therapeutic opportunity.
