A new study led by scientists at IUPUI and Indiana University Bloomington is the first to describe a biochemical mechanism that increases the activity of a molecule whose presence is observed in many types of cancer.
The molecule, an enzyme called Pif1helicase, plays a role in many important cellular processes in the body. Tightly regulating this protein is vital to genome stability because too littleor too muchactivity can influence aging and age-related diseases, primarily cancer. A common cancer…
