Bad Smells and Broken DNA: A Tale of Sulfur-Nucleic Acid Cooperation

Hydrogen sulfide (H<sub>2</sub>S) is a gasotransmitter that exerts numerous physiologic and pathophysiologic effects. Recently, a role for H<sub>2</sub>S in DNA repair has been identified, where H<sub>2</sub>S modulates cell cycle checkpoint responses, the DNA dam...
