Sometimes DNA replication hits a 🛑 roadblock. Cells don’t stop; they take clever detours (DNA damage tolerance) 🚗💨 to keep genomes intact. That’s the focus of our new review in @cp-trendsbiochem.bsky.social: “Just bypass it: mechanisms of DNA damage tolerance” 🔗 doi.org/10.1016/j.ti...

Duxin lab @duxinlab.bsky.social · 22/08/2025

It is not always safe to repair DNA Damage. Sometimes, cells "just bypass it". During DNA replication, repair of lesions on DNA can be dangerous. Cells instead "tolerate" DNA damage and focus on finishing replication. Read our review and find out why and how: doi.org/10.1016/j.ti...

It’s time for new duo: Julius Thomas & his PI Lorenza Penengo from the University of Zurich. They study the ISG15 system in DNA replication—but there’s more! One could be found scaling alpine peaks, while the other might just trade the lab for the thrill of mushroom hunting. Curious to know more? 🍄
