Study Looks Into Mutations That Cause Resistance to Cancer Therapies
A study conducted by researchers from UT Southwestern has discovered that mutating genes to create proteins that drive cancer using a virus may allow scientists to better understand the resistance that develops to the cancer treatments used to target them. The researchers’ findings were published in “Cancer Research,” with the scientists noting that their discovery could assist in better understanding the interaction between treatments and their target proteins, as well as in the development of treatments that bypass resistance. Dr. Ralf Kittler from the Eugene McDermott Center for Human Growth and Development, who is the research leader, stated that the…
