Cells typically respond to dna damage in three ways: by ceasing to grow and divide until the
damage is repaired, by permanently ceasing to grow and divide, or by dying. in 2010 a group of
scientists reported that a certain kind of immune reaction can cause dna damage that leads to a
fourth response. dna damage can turn off genes involved in cell-signaling pathways. turning off
cause less-mature cells to divide too rapidly, often leading to the development of
