In addition, this plant-based platform maybe used in other cases for the screening of specialized drugs targeting for example DNA repair like PARP inhibitors, predict response to inhibitors of the DNA damage sensors ATM and ATR, and inhibitors of nonhomologous end joining etc. As recently discussed in Stover et al. [36], producing and validating reliable biomarkers will help boost the efficiency of DNA repair targeted therapies and exploit their role(s) on cancer treatment. Here, ATM is linked to cancer.
