The Role of DNA Damage and Repair in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
The mortality rate of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) increases yearly due to ineffective treatment. Given that the lung is exposed to the external environment, it is likely that oxidative stress, especially the stimulation of DNA, would be of ...

Publisher Summary The covalent structure of the nucleobases in DNA and RNA directly provides the information for all genetic transactions. Living systems expend considerable energy in an ongoing struggle against spontaneous genetic change. The most wide-ranging threat to genetic integrity is posed by the attack of environmental agents on DNA ...

Base excision repair and cancer [PDF]
Base excision repair is the system used from bacteria to man to remove the tens of thousands of endogenous DNA damages produced daily in each human cell. Base excision repair is required for normal mammalian development and defects have been associated with neurological disorders and cancer.

Extended Frontobasal Approach for Skull Base Lesions
Background Lesions involving the skull base can be approached by a variety of surgical corridors and extended frontobasal approach is one of them. It provides quite a wide exposure to lesions in the midline of anterior skull base, paranasal sinuses, and ...

Base excision repair and its implications to cancer therapy
Base excision repair (BER) has evolved to preserve the integrity of DNA following cellular oxidative stress and in response to exogenous insults. The pathway is a coordinated, sequential process involving 30 proteins or more in which single strand breaks

Base Flipping in Nucleotide Excision Repair [PDF]
UvrB, the ultimate damage-binding protein in bacterial nucleotide excision repair is capable of binding a vast array of structurally unrelated lesions. A beta-hairpin structure in the protein plays an important role in damage-specific binding. In this paper we have monitored DNA conformational alterations in the UvrB-DNA complex, using the fluorescent ...

Bisphenol a promotes cell survival following oxidative DNA damage in mouse fibroblasts. [PDF]
Bisphenol A (BPA) is a biologically active industrial chemical used in production of consumer products. BPA has become a target of intense public scrutiny following concerns about its association with human diseases such as obesity, diabetes ...

Oxidative stress with subsequent premutagenic oxidative DNA damage has been implicated in colorectal carcinogenesis. The repair of oxidative DNA damage is initiated by lesion-specific DNA glycosylases (hOGG1, NTH1, MUTYH). The direct evidence of the role
