Nucleophagy is a natural cellular cleaning mechanism that is essential for repairing DNA and ensuring cell survival. It involves a commonly expressed protein called TEX264.
This process has been recognized by a team of researchers at the University of Oxford and Nanyang Technological University Singapore, for repairing damaged DNA that is particularly relevant for patients undergoing colorectal cancer treatments.
In this DNA repair process cells remove harmful DNA-protein lesions from a cell’s nucleus, ensuring the stability of their genetic material and promoting cell survival.
