BRCA1-NRF2 relationship in health and disease
Active:
false
Description
Recent evidence has revealed that BRCA1 supports NRF2 activity under a variety of conditions. Interestingly, it is not known how this relationship impacts cancers that are BRCA1 mutants, or those which are BRCA1-deficient like Ewing Sarcoma. Interestingly, we have found a fundamental BRCA1-NRF2 relationship that drives fundamental cell state changes in Breast Cancer, Ewing Sarcoma, and normal breast development. This project uses HTS to better characterize that relationship.
