Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are constantly exposed to a wide range of endogenous and exogenous compounds—originating from metabolism, diet, the environment, clothing, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and more—about which relatively little is known regarding their potential to disrupt the homeostasis between DNA damage and its repair via various cellular mechanisms. Furthermore, the body of evidence highlighting the crucial role of DNA repair pathways in numerous diseases, as well as their potential therapeutic applications, continues to grow rapidly.
With this in mind, this Special Volume, "DNA Damage and Repair: Current Research," welcomes the submission of original studies in this field. Our aim is to present a diverse collection of papers that reflect the breadth and depth of ongoing research on DNA damage and repair.
