In this work, the authors show that the DREAM complex suppresses the expression of numerous DNA-repair proteins in somatic cells. Suppression of the DREAM complex, either by altering individual components in Caenorhabditis elegans or chemical inhibition in human cells and progeroid mice, results in increased resistance to various DNA-damage sources during development and aging.
