Nucleosome disruption by 5-bromodeoxyuridine leads to senescence

By Guerrero A

5-Bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) exposure leads to senescence, but the mechanistic details remain elusive. In this issue, En A et al. unveil a role of the HBR domain in histone H2B as a potential mediator of the effects of BrdU both in yeast and in human cells.
