The genes involved in the cellular response to DNA damage are crucial for ensuring DNA integrity during spermatogenesis. In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Takubo et al. (2008) show that ATM, a key kinase of the DNA damage response, is also involved in maintaining the stem cell potential of undifferentiated spermatogonia.
参与细胞对DNA损伤反应的基因对于确保精子发生过程中的DNA完整性至关重要。在本期《细胞干细胞》杂志中,Takubo等人(2008年)表明,ATM作为DNA损伤反应的关键激酶,也参与维持未分化精原细胞的干细胞潜能。
