How nucleolar stress accelerates aging in mice

Drug Target Review

Initial works from the lab concentrated on exploring the role of replicative stress in cancer and ageing, for which the group combined cell biology, mouse models and drug development projects. Among other discoveries, the group developed inhibitors of the ATR kinase and showed their potential for cancer therapy.
