NASHVILLE, Tennessee, June 19 -- Vanderbilt University Medical Center issued the following news:
Cells missing the protein HMCES are hypersensitive to DNA-damaging agents that cause a common type of DNA lesion -- an "abasic" site. But the agents also generate other types of lesions associated with mutations and cell lethality, making it unclear whether HMCES responds to abasic sites in cells.
