The correct citation and reference are: A recent review provides a detailed update on ATM and ATR inhibitors, and their potential as drug targets (Weber and Ryan, 2015).Weber, A.M. and Ryan, A.J. (2015). ATM and ATR as therapeutic targets in cancer. Pharmacol Ther. 149, 124-138.The authors apologise to the readers for any confusion that this error might have caused. Although the role of both ATM and ATR in DNA repair, cell cycle regulation and apoptosis have been well studied, both still remain in the focus of current research activities owing to their role in cancer. Recent advances in the field suggest that these proteins have an additional function in maintaining cellular homeostasis under both stressed and non-stressed conditions. In this Cell Science at a Glance article and the accompanying poster, we present an overview of recent advances in ATR and ATM research with emphasis on that into the modes of ATM and ATR activation, the different signaling pathways they participate in -including those that do not involve DNA damage -and highlight their relevance in cancer.
