## Abstract It has been reported that 80β90% of human cancers may result, in part, from DNA damage. Cell survival depends critically on the stability of our DNA and exquisitely sensitive DNA repair mechanisms have developed as a result. In humans, nucleotide excision repair (NER) protects the DNA a
## Abstract The effect of simulated microgravity on DNA damage and apoptosis is still controversial. The objective of this study was to test whether simulated microgravity conditions affect the expression of genes for DNA repair and apoptosis. To achieve this objective, human lymphocyte cells were
The OGG1 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae encodes a DNA glycosylase that excises 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8-OxoG). When compared to wild-type, ogg1 mutants show an increase in the frequency of GC to TA transversions, indicating a role for Ogg1 in the repair of 8-OxoG. Here we report an increased fr
