It is not always safe to repair DNA Damage. Sometimes, cells "just bypass it".
During DNA replication, repair of lesions on DNA can be dangerous. Cells instead "tolerate" DNA damage and focus on finishing replication.

All you nuclear biologists out there: Here is a cautionary tale not to be fooled by peripheral organelle staining. It might just be that your antibody got trapped because it is "too good".

Hi chromosome biologists,
now that we're getting more and more connected online, how about starting an international mentorship network?
Postdocs mentor PhDs, young PIs mentor Postdocs, senior PIs mentor young PIs?
Comment or DM if interested, please RT. All input welcome.
