January 12th 2024: We have uncovered an altered DNA repair activity in H3.3 mutant pediatric high-grade glioma that fosters genome instability independently of previously described oncogenic pathways. Furthermore, we have identified a DNA repair enzyme that sustains the proliferation of cells bearing H3.3 mutations, thus conferring a specific molecular vulnerability with potential for therapeutic targeting. We thank all our collaborators on this work for their great contributions. See Giacomini et al., Nucleic Acids Res, 2024.

New research article on how chromatin marking governs DNA damage segregation in mitosis
In this paper, we uncover a damaged chromatin marking mechanism that drives the non-random segregation of UV damage through mitosis with potential consequences on daughter cell fate. Thus, we reveal that chromatin alterations impinge on genome stability not only by...
