Scientists at IACS, Kolkata, identified TDP1 as a DNA repair enzyme crucial for cancer cell survival during Top1 inhibitor chemotherapy. CDK1 phosphorylates TDP1, enhancing its repair function. Targeting both CDK1 and TDP1 with inhibitors could improve treatment effectiveness and overcome drug resistance.
Scientists at IACS, Kolkata, developed a novel cancer therapy targeting TDP1, a DNA repair enzyme, suggesting a combination therapy with CDK1 inhibitors to overcome drug resistance and enhance treatment effectiveness.
Scientists identified TDP1 as a DNA repair enzyme crucial for cancer cell survival, suggesting CDK1 inhibitors alongside Top1 inhibitors could enhance cancer treatment, especially for resistant cases.
