Applied Biology


Understanding the molecular basis of cancer

DNA can be damaged by ionizing radiation, UV radiation, replication errors, and even some of the chemicals found in normal, healthy cells. In addition to the mutations that happen in every cell, regardless of how sheltered an existence it lives, many mutations arise from exposure to mutagens that could be avoided, such as UV light and cigarette smoke. As mutations accumulate over the lifetime of a cell, its traits can change. When a cell accumulates a certain set of traits, or hallmarks, the cell can become cancerous. Because mutation is largely a random process, the mutations that accumulate in one cell are not the same as the mutations that accumulate in every other cell of a person’s body.
