Inducing DNA damage through R-loops to kill cancer cells
R-loops are intermediate structures of transcription that can accumulate when transcriptional elongation is blocked by inhibiting BRD4. In normal cells, R-loop persistence suppresses firing of adjacent replication origins. This control is lost in a subset of cancer cells, where BRD4 inhibition resul...
