What Are the Future Directions for Research on DNA-Protein Crosslinks in Cancer?
Research on DPCs in cancer is focused on understanding the precise mechanisms of DPC formation and repair, as well as their role in cancer biology. Future studies aim to identify novel therapeutic targets within the pathways responsible for DPC repair. Additionally, there is interest in developing drugs that can selectively induce DPCs in cancer cells, thereby enhancing the efficacy of existing treatments. Advances in genomics and proteomics are expected to provide deeper insights into the complex interactions between DNA and proteins in cancer.
