Joining European Scientific Forces to Face Pandemics

Despite the international guidelines on the containment of the COVID-19 pandemic, the European scientific community was not sufficiently prepared to coordinate scientific efforts. To improve preparedness for future pandemics, nine groups of scientists already funded by the European program for Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST), coordinated by Chiara Rignati from Turin University, joined in […]

DDX11 loss causes replication stress and pharmacologically exploitable DNA repair defects

Mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 tumor suppressor genes predispose individuals to breast and ovarian cancers. These cancers are treated in the clinic with platinum drugs and inhibitors of polyADP-ribose polymerase (PARP), which cause lesions requiring homologous recombination repair activities mediated by BRCA1 and BRCA2. However, BRCA1 and BRCA2 tumors often acquire resistance to chemotherapy, either […]
