    • DNA Repair Enzymes: Cell, Molecular, and Chemical Biology

      • 1st Edition
      • Volume 591
      • English
      DNA Repair Enzymes, Part A, Volume 591 is the latest volume in the Methods in Enzymology series and the first part of a thematic that focuses on DNA repair enzymes. Topics in this new release include chapters on the Optimization of Native and Formaldehyde iPOND Techniques for Use in Suspension Cells, the Proteomic Analyses of the Eukaryotic Replication Machinery, DNA Fiber Analysis: Mind the Gap!, Comet-FISH for Ultrasensitive Strand-Specific Detection of DNA Damage in Single Cells, Examining DNA Double-Strand Break Repair in a Cell Cycle-Dependent Manner, Base Excision Repair Variants in Cancer, and Fluorescence-Based Reporters for Detection of Mutagenesis in E. coli.

    • Mechanisms of DNA Repair

      • 1st Edition
      • Volume 110
      • English
      Written by research experts, this volume of Progress in Molecular Biology and Translational Science focuses on current science surrounding the mechanisms of DNA repair.

    • DNA Repair in Cancer Therapy

      Molecular Targets and Clinical Applications
      • 1st Edition
      • Mark R. Kelley
      • English
      Cancer therapeutics include an ever-increasing array of tools at the disposal of clinicians in their treatment of this disease. However, cancer is a tough opponent in this battle, and current treatments, which typically include radiotherapy, chemotherapy and surgery, are not often enough to rid the patient of his or her cancer. Cancer cells can become resistant to the treatments directed at them, and overcoming this drug resistance is an important research focus. Additionally, increasing discussion and research is centering on targeted and individualized therapy. While a number of approaches have undergone intensive and close scrutiny as potential approaches to treat and kill cancer (signaling pathways, multidrug resistance, cell cycle checkpoints, anti-angiogenesis, etc.), other approaches have focused on blocking the ability of a cancer cell to recognize and repair the damaged DNA that primarily results from the front-line cancer treatments; chemotherapy and radiation. This comprehensive and timely reference focuses on the translational and clinical use of DNA repair as a target area for the development of diagnostic biomarkers and the enhancement of cancer treatment.

    • DNA Repair, Part B

      • 1st Edition
      • Volume 409
      • English
      This volume emphasizes the intracellular consequences of DNA damage, describing procedures for analysis of checkpoint responses, DNA repair in vivo, replication fork encounter of DNA damage, as well as biological methods for analysis of mutation production and chromosome rearrangements. It also describes molecular methods for analysis of a number of genome maintenance activities including DNA ligases, helicases, and single-strand binding proteins.

    • DNA Repair, Part A

      • 1st Edition
      • Volume 408
      • English
      DNA Repair, Part A provides detailed coverage of modern methods for molecular analysis of enzymes and enzyme systems that function in the maintenance of genome integrity. Coverage areas include base excision repair, nucleotide excision repair, translesion DNA polymerases, mismatch repair, genetic recombination, and double strand break repair.

    • DNA Repair and Replication

      • 1st Edition
      • Volume 69
      • English
      DNA Repair and Replication contains an up-to-date review of general principles of DNA replication and an overview of the multiple pathways involved in DNA repair. Specific DNA repair pathways, including base-excision repair, light-dependent direct reversal of UV-damage, nucleotide-excision repair, transcription-couple... repair, double-strand break repair, and mismatch repair, are each discussed in separate chapters.

    • The Role of DNA Damage and Repair in Cell Aging

      • 1st Edition
      • Volume 4
      • B.A. Gilchrest + 1 more
      • English
      Aging occurs at the level of individual cells, a complex interplay between intrinsic "programming" and exogenous "wear and tear", with genetically-determin... cellular capacity to repair environmentally-indu... DNA damage playing a central role in the rate of aging and its specific manifestations. In 12 chapters, "The Role of DNA Damage and Repair in Cell Aging" provides an intellectual framework for aging of mitotic and post-mitotic cells, describes a variety of model systems for further studies, and reviews current concepts of DNA responses and their relationship to the phenomenon of aging.As part of a series entitled "Advances in Cell Aging and Gerontology," this volume also summarizes seminal recent discoveries such as the molecular basis for Werner syndrome (a mutant DNA helicase), the complementary roles of telomere shortening and telomerase activity in cell senescence versus immortalization, the role of apoptosis in the homeostasis of aging tissue, and the existence of an inducible SOS-like response in mammalian cells that minimizes DNA damage from repeatedly encountered injurious environmental agents. Insights into the relationship between cellular aging and age-associated diseases, particularly malignancies, are also provided in several chapters.This book is an excellent single source of information for anyone interested in DNA repair, mechanisms of aging, or certainly their intersection. Students will gain a general appreciation of these fields, but even the most senior investigators will benefit from the detailed coverage of rapidly advancing areas.
