DNA damage response is a mechanism that can prevents cancer development. In DNA damage response, ATM-p53 pathway is one of the pathways activated to induce DNA repair, cell cycle arrest and apoptosis which ultimately prevent tumorgenesis. Recent genetic studies have revealed that BMP-Smad pathway ha...
