Indian scientists identify molecule to help cancer treatment
A team of Indian researchers, led by Dr Sathees C Raghavan
of the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, have identified a molecule which they claim will
revolutionise the cure for cancer. The molecule has been named after "Sathees as SCR7" and a detailed
account of it has been carried in the international scientific journal "Cell."

Scientists world over believe that the double-strand break (DSB) of DNA is one of the most
lethal form of DNA damage, resulting in drastic consequences
such as genome instability, and cancer.
DSB is primarily repaired by two pathways, homogeneous recombination and non-homogeneous end joining,
DSB is primarily repaired by two pathways, homogeneous recombination and non-homogeneous end joining,
which was considered as a major route for the repair of DSBs
in humans. The inhibitor SCR7 targets nonhomogeneous end joining and offers a strategy towards the treatment of
cancer.
