    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 ...

    Homologous recombination as a potential target for caffeine radiosensitization in mammalian cells: reduced caffeine radiosensitization in XRCC2 and XRCC3 mutants

    The radiosensitizing effect of caffeine has been associated with the disruption of multiple DNA damage-responsive cell cycle checkpoints, but several lines of evidence also implicate inhibition of DNA repair. ...
