Involvement of classic and alternative non-homologous end joining pathways in hematologic malignancies: targeting strategies for treatment
Abstract Chromosomal translocations are the main etiological factor of hematologic malignancies. These translocations are generally the consequence of aberrant DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair. DSBs arise either exogenously or endogenously in cells and are repaired by major pathways, including n...
