Deskripsi

MiR-34 is a tumour suppressor microRNA known to be upregulated by p53 after DNA damage and plays a critical role in cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. Here the authors show the cell maintains an inactive pool of miR-34 which is rapidly activated after damage via ATM-dependent phosphorylation.
