 演 題 
   To Repair Or To Die: That Is The Question
 
 要 旨: 
  Defective repair of damaged DNA contributes to the accumulation of genomic instability and increases the risk for cancer. Similarly, compromised cell death facilitates several human pathologies including cancer and immunodeficiency. Using mouse models we have studied diseases associated with specific defects in the DNA repair or apoptosis processes. We have characterized the mechanisms that lead to cancer development in the presence of mutation of tumor suppressors such as BRCA1, Mus81 and P53. We have also characterized the in vivo functions of caspases and have identified a novel role for caspase 8 in maintaining survival and homeostasis.
