📰 Some forms of DNA damage linger unrepaired in healthy cells for years, according to a nature study led by Dr Mike Spencer Chapman Mike Spencer Chapman at BCI and Wellcome Sanger Institute. Read more👉 bit.ly/40wJX2f The findings could inform our understanding of cancer development.


Building on our discovery of #LesionSegregation, Mike Spencer Chapman and colleagues from Wellcome Sanger Institute find that some DNA lesions can persist in humans for months or years! "Prolonged persistence of mutagenic DNA lesions in somatic cells” nature.com/articles/s4158…

Mike Spencer Chapman Martin Taylor Congratulations on your elegant paper! It's great to see #LesionSegregation being identified in other settings, and used as the basis for your interesting and important biological insights into mutagenesis, cancer biology, and evolution...
