Presented by: Martin Gustavsson

Sapna Das-Bradoo, Hai-Dang Nguyen and Jamie Wood (Bielinsky lab) are co-first authors on a paper published in the January issue of Nature Cell Biology. The study describes a novel modification of the cancer marker PCNA (proliferating cell nuclear antigen). The significance of this finding lies in its connection to the cellular checkpoint response, which is an effective barrier against cancer development. The discovery might allow for the more efficient activation of this anti-cancer barrier in individuals that carry certain mutations, which predispose them to cancer.
