Data detailed in 'Induction and processing of complex DNA damage in human breast cancer cells MCF-7 and nonmalignant MCF-10A cells' have been presented. According to a study from the United States, "Oxidatively induced stress and DNA damage have been associated with various human pathophysiological conditions, including cancer and aging. Complex DNA damage such as double-strand breaks (DSBs) and non-DSB bistranded oxidatively induced clustered DNA lesions (OCDL) (two or more DNA lesions within a short DNA fragment of 1-10 bp on opposing DNA strands) are hypothesized to be repair-resistant lesions challenging the repair mechanisms of the cell." "To evaluate the induction...
