NONO: Key Protein in UV Radiation Response and Cancer Prevention
Description: A new study reveals a protein called NONO plays a crucial role in the cellular response against the detrimental effects of UV radiation in DNA strands. The study is entitled "NONO regulates the intra-S-phase checkpoint in response to UV radiation." Melanoma is the most dangerous form of skin cancer, usually caused by damage to skin cells (usually by ultraviolet radiation from sunshine or tanning beds), which triggers mutations that are not repaired allowing cells to rapidly multiply and generate malignant tumors.
