[ RadSafe ] Two interesting papers on DNA repair mechanisms

[parthasarathy k s]

Friends,


The following papers just published reveal the complexities of  the DNA repair 
mechanisms
 
 
DNA mutation rates raise curtain on cause of cancer

Scientists uncover novel role for DNA repair protein linked to cancer
< http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2010-07/tu-sun063010.php >
 
The finding that the process of repairing DNA damage itself causes more 
mutations
is worrying. No wonder one may have to continue to accept LNT concept for the 
time being as a precautionary approach.

Any comments?
