USC Dornsife study reveals how protein droplets help cells master difficult DNA repair.

Nup98 forms liquid droplets around the damaged DNA, creating a protected space that keeps out the wrong repair tools and helps prevent harmful genetic mistakes.

Discovery could have real-world impact, especially for diseases like acute myeloid leukemia.

Study authors include Chetan Rawal , Colby See, Anik Mitra , Trevor Reynolds , Nadejda Butova and Christopher Caridi of USC Dornsife.

The research was supported by the following National Institutes of Health grants: F31ES036878; T32GM118289 ; P01CA265794 ; R01AR077094 and R01GM124143 .
