Defective DNA single-strand break repair is responsible for senescence and neoplastic escape of epithelial cells
It is recognized that cellular senescence is triggered by DNA damage as a protective mechanism against tumorigenesis. Here the authors show that DNA single-strand breaks of oxidative origin can induce a transient senescent state followed by the emergence of clonal transformed cells.
