January 2019 in “Nature communications” This study found that polyamines enhance genome integrity by facilitating homologous recombination-mediated DNA repair, suggesting a novel role for polyamines beyond promoting cell growth and proliferation.
July 2017 in “Cancer Research” This study found that polyamines participate in DNA double-strand break repair, primarily by enhancing the homologous recombination pathway through RAD51-mediated DNA strand exchange.
January 2012 in “Else Kröner-Fresenius Symposia” This symposium reported that DNA damage accumulation in aging stem cells affects genome integrity, highlighting novel mechanisms like Bmi1's role in DNA repair and the involvement of BATF in lymphoid differentiation.

April 2008 in “Journal of Biological Chemistry” This study found that the lack of expression and deletion of specific hair keratin genes on chromosome 7q36 in Hirosaki hairless rats suggests the crucial role of these genes in hair growth.
