"The prize recognizes the confluence of two different approaches to learning about the molecular machinery regulating the cell cycle," says Ira Herskowitz, professor in the department of biochemistry ...
The cell cycle is governed by a network of surveillance mechanisms that detect DNA lesions and coordinate repair with progression through G1, S, G2 and M phases. Central to this system are sensor ...
Arteriovenous malformations, a hallmark of hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia, may be driven by endothelial cell-cycle acceleration via CDK6, suggesting potential for repurposing CDK6 inhibitors.
