Blocking Genomic Instability Prevents Acquired Resistance to MAPK Inhibitor Therapy in Melanoma

TL;DR: In this paper , after MAPK inhibitor (MAPKi) therapy in patients and mice bearing patient-derived xenografts (PDX), acquired resistant genomes of metastatic cutaneous melanoma specifically amplify resistance-driver, nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ), and homologous recombination repair (HRR) genes via complex genomic rearrangements (CGR) and extrachromosomal DNAs (ecDNA).

A kinesin‐based approach for inducing chromosome‐specific mis‐segregation in human cells

TL;DR: In this article , a microtubule minus-end-directed kinesin (Kinesin14VIb) from Physcomitrella patens was used to induce mis-segregation of specific chromosomes in different human cell types.

Telomeric 8-Oxoguanine Drives Rapid Premature Senescence In The Absence Of Telomere Shortening

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed that oxidative stress promotes rapid senescence by producing oxidative base lesions which drive replication-dependent telomere fragility and dysfunction in the absence of shortening and shelterin loss.

Cellular senescence: when bad things happen to good cells

TL;DR: Understanding the causes and consequences of cellular senescence has provided novel insights into how cells react to stress, especially genotoxic stress, and how this cellular response can affect complex organismal processes such as the development of cancer and ageing.

Regulation and function of the cGAS-STING pathway of cytosolic DNA sensing

TL;DR: Recent advances in understanding of the cGAS–STING pathway are reviewed, focusing on the regulatory mechanisms and roles of this pathway in heath and disease.

DNA breaks and chromosome pulverization from errors in mitosis

TL;DR: A mechanism by which errors in mitotic chromosome segregation generate DNA breaks via the formation of structures called micronuclei is identified, which potentially lead to mutations and chromosome rearrangements that can integrate into the genome.

How to identify micronuclear dysfunction?

Micronuclear dysfunction can be identified by compromised integrity of the micronuclear envelope, delayed or disrupted DNA replication, inhibited DNA repair, and exposure of micronuclear DNA to the cytoplasm.
