16. Regulation of DNA damage responses by the Myc oncogene : implications for future anti-cancer therapies
Abstract : Myc is a transcription factor frequently found deregulated in human cancer. Cells with deregulated expression of Myc carry a selective advantage against its neighbours due to the fact that Myc-mediated transcription governs crucial cellular events such as proliferation and growth.

18. Systematic Modular Approaches to Reveal DNA Damage Responses in Mammalian Cells
Abstract : Cancer therapy operates by inflicting damage in malignant cells. The most lethal target is the genomic DNA. As a single double strand DNA break has the potential to kill the cell, mechanisms have evolved to detect and block propagation of the damage. READ MORE

19. Effects of Antioxidants and Pro-oxidants on Oxidative Stress and DNA Damage using the Comet Assay : Studies on Blood Cells from Type 2 Diabetes Subjects and Mouse Lymphoma Cells
Abstract : Diet and oral supplements comprise two distinct sources of antioxidants known to prevent oxidative stress. Beneficial effects from antioxidants have been seen for patients at risk for type 2 diabetes.The aim of this thesis was to evaluate the positive effects of antioxidants against oxidative stress and DNA damage in type 2 diabetes subjects.

20. UV-induced DNA damage in humans
Abstract : Ultraviolet radiation is considered to be the most harmful part of solar energy affecting man. The depletion of the ozone layer around the Earth increases the total exposure to UV-light. The incidence of skin cancer in man has been shown to be associated with exposure to solar radiation, especially to UV-light. READ MORE
