Finally, these experiments will reveal if ERCC1-XPF hypomorphic mice are a useful model for screening anti-oxidants that may reduce cancer risk. ..
- The contribution of DNA interstrand crosslinks to agingLAURA JANE NIEDERNHOFER; Fiscal Year: 2010..Results from these experiments will indicate if LPO promotes aging and if so, whether it does so by inducing DNA damage. These experiments will also reveal if two common industrial exposures promote aging. ..
