Cancer cells repair DNA damage by updated radiotherapy
Recent research has shown that cancer cells have a unique ability to repair DNA damage caused by next-generation radiotherapy. This finding could have significant implications for the development of more effective cancer treatments. The researchers identified a specific protein, called Rad51, that is responsible for this repair process. By targeting Rad51, they were able to inhibit the repair of DNA damage in cancer cells and increase their sensitivity to proton therapy.
