Study finds DNA protection mechanism during cell migration in embryos

Original: In vivo DNA damage protection during cell migration across confining embryonic tissue environments

Researchers report in Nature a protective mechanism that shields DNA from damage when cells migrate through the tight, confining spaces of embryonic tissue. The finding explains how moving cells avoid genome injury in crowded developmental environments and could inform research on development, cancer invasion and cell therapy. The work is drawing attention from biologists studying mechanobiology and genome stability.

Why now: A new Nature study reveals a previously unknown way cells protect their DNA during migration through tight tissue spaces.
