& As Latest Update

Microsatellites - ✔✔Short, repetitive sequences of nucleotides scattered throughout the
human genome.



Mismatch repair (MMR) - ✔✔A system that recognizes and repairs misincorporations of bases
that arise during DNA replication.



Frameshift-mutated neoantigens - ✔✔Altered antigens resulting from frameshift mutations,
which can serve as predictors of sensitivity to immunotherapies.



Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) - ✔✔An enzyme involved in DNA repair and cell
death processes, often targeted in cancer therapy.



Nucleotide excision repair (NER) inhibitors - ✔✔Small molecules designed to target specific
proteins involved in the NER pathway, potentially improving the response to DNA-damaging agents
such as cisplatin.



1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25VD3) - ✔✔The active form of vitamin D3, which plays a role
in protecting DNA from UV damage and is involved in the nucleotide excision repair process.



ErbB family - ✔✔A family of receptor tyrosine kinases, including EGFR, that plays a role in
regulating DNA repair processes.

, IGF-1 Receptor (IGF-1R) - ✔✔A membrane-bound receptor that plays a role in regulating DNA
repair processes and is linked with the development of solid tumors.



Oncogene - ✔✔Mutated growth-controlling gene that promotes uncontrolled cell growth and
can lead to cancer.



Transfection - ✔✔The process of introducing DNA into cells, often used to detect oncogenes
in cancer cells.



Phosphate Buffer - ✔✔A solution used to maintain a stable pH when introducing DNA into
cells during transfection experiments.



Calcium Phosphate Crystals - ✔✔Crystals formed when DNA and calcium ions are added to
a phosphate buffer, facilitating the uptake of DNA fragments by cells.



Monolayer Culture - ✔✔A culture of cells in a single layer, often used in transfection experiments to
detect oncogenes.



Proto-oncogene - ✔✔A normal gene that can become an oncogene due to mutations, promoting
cell growth and development.



Growth Factors - ✔✔Proteins responsible for stimulating cell growth and development, regulated
by proto-oncogenes.



Growth Factor Receptors - ✔✔Proteins on the cell surface that bind to growth factors, initiating
the cell growth and division process.



Signal-Transduction Proteins - ✔✔Proteins that transmit signals within a cell, often involved in
the regulation of cell growth and division.



Transcription Factors - ✔✔Proteins that control the transfer of genetic information from DNA to
RNA, influencing gene expression and cell function.
