Germline minisatellite instability in the presence and absence of MLH1, a mismatch repair protein [PDF]
MLH1 (MutL homolog 1) is a mismatch repair protein that can form heterodimer with MLH3 in meiosis. A functional MLH1-MLH3 heterodimer is essential for crossover recombination.

Molecular classification of microsatellite-instable colorectal cancers reveals distinct predictors of immunotherapy response [PDF]
Microsatellite-instable (MSI) tumours constitute one-fifth of colorectal cancers (CRCs). However, the MSI CRCs display substantial tumour microenvironment (TME) heterogeneity and variable responses to immunotherapy, necessitating a refined classification

AMPK Deficiency Increases DNA Methylation and Aggravates Colorectal Tumorigenesis in AOM/DSS Mice [PDF]
The incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) is closely linked to metabolic diseases. Accumulating evidence suggests the regulatory role of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) in cancer metabolic reprogramming. In this study, wild-type and AMPK knockout mice

Mismatch repair protein MLH1 suppresses replicative stress in BRCA2-deficient breast tumors [PDF]
Loss of BRCA2 (breast cancer 2) is lethal for normal cells. Yet it remains poorly understood how, in BRCA2 mutation carriers, cells undergoing loss of heterozygosity overcome the lethality and undergo tissue -specific neoplastic transformation.

Genotoxic effects of systemic chemotherapy in cancer patients, with special focus on the relation between MSI, LOH and development of secondary cancers [PDF]
Systemic chemotherapy results in both phenotypic and genotypic side effects. Genotoxicity posed by chemotherapy is a major concern since it induces DNA damage and instability in the patients’ genome. Chemotherapy-related genetic instability is thought to
