In this issue, Choi et al. (2013) discover a molecular link between the Nek8 kinase, mutated in the renal ciliopathy nephronophthisis, and DNA damage control by cyclin A/Cdk2 and ATR-Chk1, providing new ideas for targeted therapies limiting tissue degeneration.
在本期中,Choi 等人(2013 年)发现了 Nek8 激酶与 cyclin A/Cdk2 和 ATR-Chk1 对 DNA 损伤控制之间的分子联系,该激酶在肾脏纤毛病肾单位肾病变中发生突变,为限制组织退化的靶向治疗提供了新的思路。
