Efficient Numerical Methodology for the Determination of Thermal Conductivity of Asphalt Mixtures
Despite the importance of the thermal conductivity (k) to the study of pavement thermal behaviors, it is still a challenging task for engineers to come up with an efficient method for its determination without...

Protocol
Plasmid-Based Assays for DNA End-Joining In Vitro
Double-strand breaks (DSBs) disrupt DNA integrity and cause genomic instability and cancer, mutations, or cell death. Among the pathways utilized by cells of higher eukaryotes to repair this lesion, nonhomolog...

Caffeine inhibits homology-directed repair of I-SceI-induced DNA double-strand breaks
We recently reported that two Chinese hamster mutants deficient in the RAD51 paralogs XRCC2 and XRCC3 show reduced radiosensitization after treatment with caffeine, thus implicating homology-directed repair (HDR)...

DNA damage checkpoint control in cells exposed to ionizing radiation
Damage induced in the DNA after exposure of cells to ionizing radiation activates checkpoint pathways that inhibit progression of cells through the G1 and G2 phases and induce a transient delay in the progress...

hTERT associates with human telomeres and enhances genomic stability and DNA repair
Ectopic expression of telomerase in telomerase-silent cells is sufficient to overcome senescence and to extend cellular lifespan. We show here that the catalytic subunit of human telomerase (hTERT) crosslinks ...

Efficient rejoining of radiation-induced DNA double-strand breaks in vertebrate cells deficient in genes of the RAD52 epistasis group
Rejoining of ionizing radiation (IR) induced DNA DSBs usually follows biphasic kinetics with a fast (t50: 5–30 min) component attributed to DNA-PK-dependent non-homologous endjoining (NHEJ) and a slow (t50: 1–20 ...

BRCA1 proteins are transported to the nucleus in the absence of serum and splice variants BRCA1a, BRCA1b are tyrosine phosphoproteins that associate with E2F, cyclins and cyclin dependent kinases
BRCA1, a familial breast and ovarian cancer susceptibility gene encodes nuclear phosphoproteins that function as tumor suppressors in human breast cancer cells. Previously, we have shown that overexpression of...
