This study found that polyamines enhance genome integrity by facilitating homologous recombination-mediated DNArepair, suggesting a novel role for polyamines beyond promoting cell growth and proliferation.
This study found that mimicking the XPD point mutation in mice resulted in trichothiodystrophy-like symptoms, supporting the role of basal transcription and DNArepair defects in the disease.

This study observed that disrupting the Pnkp gene in adult mice resulted in a premature aging-like phenotype, suggesting PNKP's vital role in maintaining normal growth and survival of certain progenitor cell populations.
A satirical post where someone claims to have developed a radioactive isotope scalp serum using Polonium-210 that outperforms Minoxidil and finasteride for hair regrowth. The serum reportedly stimulates DNArepair in hair follicles, leading to significant hair density increase, but the post is met with skepticism and concerns about safety.
