\nClaude Gagna

The abstract, presented at the 2018 American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Annual Meeting, summarizes Gagna's examination of the relationship between exotic DNA and RNA structures (e.g., Z-DNA, triplex DNA, and quadruplex DNA) in terminal differentiation (denucleation), a type of cell death that helps maintain normal physiological systems in humans. Understanding how these exotic forms of DNA regulate denucleation in humans may help one day to treat pathologies, such as cancer.
