Investigating how dormant senescent cells can drive drug-resistance following chemotherapy

University of Dundee School of Medicine

Most anti-cancer chemotherapeutics work by inducing DNA damage and arresting the cell cycle in either G1 or G2 phase. A frequent outcome of this arrest is that cells exit the cell cycle into a state known as senescence. Read more
