Science has known for quite some time how a cellular DNA repair protein is directed to lesions in DNA through modifications on histone proteins that are bound tightly to DNA. Cancer cells divide very quickly and experience a high load of damage to DNA. Without quick and efficient repair systems, these cells will inevitably die. Cancer cells are extremely dependent on DNA repair mechanisms and the new molecular mechanism the team found works as a very attractive target for cancer therapy.
