Collagen and gelatin are essential natural biopolymers commonly utilized in biomaterials and tissue engineering because of their excellent physicochemical and biocompatibility properties. They can be used either in combination with other biomacromolecules or particles or even exclusively for the enhancement of bone regeneration or for the development of biomimetic scaffolds. Collagen or gelatin derivatives can be transformed into nanofibrous materials with porous micro- or nanostructures and superior mechanical properties and biocompatibility using electrospinning technology.

Article Synopsis
  • - Repairing DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) is essential for maintaining genome stability and cell survival, with key mechanisms including homologous recombination, non-homologous end joining, microhomology-mediated end joining, and single strand annealing.
  • - The article introduces extrachromosomal reporter assays that selectively measure the effectiveness of each DSB repair pathway by evaluating the reconstitution of a nanoluciferase reporter gene in cells.
  • - These assays are quick (under 24 hours), quantitative, sensitive, and suitable for high-throughput screening, making them valuable tools for DNA repair research and drug discovery.
