DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are posing serious threats to genome stability. During mitosis, cells mainly rely on polymerase theta (Polθ) -mediated repair to fix these breaks. However, how the CIP2A-TOPBP1 complex regulates this process remains unclear.

Stem cells possess the unique ability to self-renew and transform into different types of cells. For example, rare hematopoietic stem cells found in bone marrow can become any type of blood cell. Throughout life, they can produce new blood cells to replace those lost because of infection, bleeding, or chemotherapy. However, as people and animals age, hematopoietic stem cells become less effective.

Scientists had noticed that HPV was often present in cervical cancer. But was it merely present, or did it drive the growth of cancer? Munger was able to show th
