Have you ever wondered how cells respond to DNA damage in the middle of mitosis?

I'm delighted to share with you our latest publication, now out in @CellReports @CellPressNews

A brief thread about this story 👇🏼🧵. (1/11).

[Veronique Smits @VSmitsLab]

Our latest publication by @Jessel_ap is out in @CellReports. We show that DNA damage in late mitosis triggers an ATM-dependent increase in RNF126 and BRAP, which promote cell survival under these conditions. With help from @RFreireLab.

Well done @CintiaFonRod on a great PhD defence!
Thanks to the committee for their time and feedback.
@DNA_Repair_USC @lblancodavila1 @DDRRepair
Congratulations Dra. Fonseca Rodríguez! 🎓 🍾

[Veronique Smits @VSmitsLab]

It was a pleasure to host Miguel Blanco @DNA_Repair_USC in the lab today. Thanks for a great seminar Miguel!

[Veronique Smits @VSmitsLab]

Thanks to Yvette Ogiemwanre for spending her Biomedical Research in Practice @erasmusuni internship in our lab.
It was a pleasure having you on the team!

[Veronique Smits @VSmitsLab]

Happy to share our latest publication by @YerayHdezReyes and @CintiaFonRod in @JMolBiol, highlighting two RNA helicases, DDX37 and DDX50, that ensure genome stability by preventing transcription-dependent R-loop formation.
With help from @RFreireLab.
