A meiosis-specific BRCA2 binding protein recruits recombinases to DNA double-strand breaks to ensure homologous recombination

Nature Communications, 2019
Homologous recombination (HR) repairs DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) to maintain genomic integrity. Recombinase recruited to the DSBs by the mediator protein BRCA2 catalyzes the homology-directed repair. During meiotic HR, programmed DSBs are introduced

PARP Inhibitors in the Treatment of Prostate Cancer: From Scientific Rationale to Clinical Development

The World Journal of Men's Health
Prostate cancer (PC) treatment has reached a milestone with the introduction of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors. PARP inhibitors (PARPi) induce breaks in single-stranded and/or double-stranded DNA, resulting in synthetic lethality in ...

Skin Cancer Predisposition Genes, Full‐Body Skin Examinations, Familial Disclosure, and Genetic Testing Among High‐Risk Individuals

International Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background There is a lack of knowledge in full‐body skin examinations (FBSEs) in the context of pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants (PV/LPV) in skin cancer predisposition genes (CPGs). This study assessed the association between carrier status of PV/LPV in skin CPGs and FBSEs and described the patterns of family letter receipt, familial ...

Proteomic analysis of the zone of degeneration at the mitosis–meiosis transition stage in wild‐caught male catshark (Scyliorhinus canicula), correlated with an unusually high‐water temperature in the English Channel

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract In the context of current global change, variations in water temperature are one of the environmental conditions with serious consequences for marine life, including reproductive processes. In the small spotted catshark Scyliorhinus canicula, spermatogenesis occurs in spermatocysts composed of synchronously developing germ cells associated ...

Delivering precision oncology in metastatic breast cancer: Clinical impact of comprehensive genomic profiling—The CATCH experience

International Journal of Cancer, Volume 158, Issue 6, Page 1675-1689, 15 March 2026.
What's new? CATCH is a prospective precision oncology registry trial that harnesses whole‐genome/exome‐ and RNA‐sequencing to enable actionable biomarker detection in metastatic breast cancer patients of any subtype. The data of the first 412 consecutive patients with completed follow‐up in this real‐world, single‐center patient cohort provide robust ...

Pathogenic Germline PALB2 and RAD50 Variants in Patients With Relapsed Ewing Sarcoma

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, Volume 73, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Approximately 10% of patients with Ewing sarcoma (EwS) have pathogenic germline variants. Here, we report two cases: first, a novel germline pathogenic variant in partner and localizer of BRCA2 (PALB2) in a patient with a late EwS relapse. Its impact on homologous recombination is demonstrated, and breast cancer risk is discussed.

Integrated genomic and proteomic profiling reveals insights into chemoradiation resistance in cervical cancer

Molecular Oncology, Volume 20, Issue 3, Page 709-726, March 2026.
A comprehensive genomic and proteomic analysis of cervical cancer revealed STK11 and STX3 as a potential biomarkers of chemoradiation resistance. Our study demonstrated EGFR as a therapeutic target, paving the way for precision strategies to overcome treatment failure and the DNA repair pathway as a critical mechanism of resistance.
