The Mutagenic Impact of Environmental Exposures in Human Cells and Cancer: Imprints Through Time
During life, the DNA of our cells is continuously exposed to external damaging processes. Despite the activity of various repair mechanisms, DNA damage eventually results in the accumulation of mutations in the genomes of our cells. Oncogenic mutations are at the root of carcinogenesis, and carcinog...
