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

Examining the dysfunction of DNA damage repair in synucleinopathies

University of Dundee School of Medicine

DNA damage is an emerging stressor implicated in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases. Our recent research within post-mortem dementia with Lewy body brain tissue has highlighted the dysregulation of several DNA damage repair pathways, alongside the occurrence of a novel nuclear alpha-synuclein pathology.
