Exploring the Synergy between PARP and CHK1 Inhibition in Matched <i>BRCA2</i> Mutant and Corrected Cells

PARP inhibition results in the accumulation of DNA SSBs, causing replication stress (RS) and lesions that can only be resolved by homologous recombination repair (HRR). Defects in HRR, e.g., due to <i>BRCA2</i> mutation, confer profound sensitivity to PARP inhibitor (PARPi) cytotoxicity....
