#New-Paper Rass laboratory reveal DNA2 to be a gatekeeper to homologous recombination at stalled DNA replication forks, rrequired to stave off cellular senescence. Their findings provide a molecular explanation for the association of DNA2 with primordial dwarfism and cancer. doi.org/10.1038/s415...

DNA2 suppresses recombination-restarted replication and checkpoint activation at stalled forks, and its loss triggers recombination-dependent synthesis, checkpoint signalling and cell-cycle exit, high...
