What are the Clinical Implications of AP Endonuclease Research?
Understanding the function and regulation of AP endonuclease has significant clinical implications. Targeting AP endonuclease activity can be a potential therapeutic strategy for enhancing the efficacy of cancer treatments, as cancer cells often rely on DNA repair pathways to survive chemotherapy and radiation. Moreover, modulating AP endonuclease activity may provide avenues for treating diseases linked to DNA repair deficiencies.
