Research carried out at the Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology (IMBB) of FORTH, provides evidence that persistent DNA damage triggers an exosome-based, metabolic reprogramming that leads to chronic inflammation and tissue pathology in DNA repair-deficient progeroid syndromes and likely also during aging.

The findings of the study, published today in the premier international scientific journal Cell Reports, reveal a novel molecular mechanism underlying the detrimental effects of BER imbalance in the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease.

The new European research project CARDIOCARE, will focus on the management of the elderly multimorbid patients with breast cancer therapy-induced cardiac toxicity.

Research carried out at the Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology-FORTH and published today in Nature Communications provides evidence that the XAB2 protein functionally links persistent DNA damage with the core spliceosome and the processing of R-loops, highlighting the functional links between genome maintenance and the splicing machinery in development or disease.
