Anti-cancer therapies, the role of the anti-wrinkle enzyme

Cancer cells have the ability to proliferate uncontrollably. This characteristic differentiates them from the normal ones and requires the possession of mechanisms that allow the continuous replication of the genetic material. Key elements in this scenario are two genes, Brca1 and Brca2 (BReast CAncer Gene 1 and Gene 2): they play an important role in the DNA repair mechanisms in our cells.
