TMPRSS4 correlates with colorectal cancer pathological stage and regulates cell proliferation and self-renewal ability.

abstract：:To avoid cell cycle arrest or apoptosis, rapidly proliferating cancer cells have to promote DNA double strand break (DSB) repair to fix replication stress induced DSBs. Therefore, developing drugs blocking homologous recombination (HR) and nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ) - 2 major DSB repair pathways - holds great po...
