Scientists at the University of Kentucky are unraveling the details of DNA-damage repair in the melanocyte, with an eye towards finding druggable targets for melanoma prevention. Jarret et al., (2015, this issue) report in this issue three new assays that can yield mechanistic information about nucleotide excision repair (NER) stimulated by cAMP-dependent signaling downstream of the melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R).
肯塔基大学的科学家们正在深入研究黑素细胞中DNA损伤修复的细节,旨在寻找可用于预防黑色素瘤的药物靶点。贾勒特等人(2015年,本期)在本期报告了三种新的检测方法,这些方法能够提供有关由黑皮质素-1受体(MC1R)下游的cAMP依赖性信号传导所刺激的核苷酸切除修复(NER)的机制信息。
