Researchers at University of Colorado Boulder have identified a new target present at the ends of the chromosomes that can be exploited to develop new anti-cancer drugs, a new study published in the journal Nature reveals. Researchers in the two scientists' laboratories collaborated to find a patch of amino acids that, if blocked by a drug docked onto the chromosome end at this location, may prevent cancerous cells from reproducing.

Amino Acids Present in the Ends of Chromosomes may be Targeted by New Cancer Drugs
Researchers at University of Colorado Boulder have identified a new target present at the ends of the chromosomes that can be exploited to develop new anti-cancer drugs, a new study published in the journal Nature reveals. Researchers in the two scientists' laboratories collaborated to find a patch of amino acids that, if blocked by a drug docked onto the chromosome end at this location, may prevent cancerous cells from reproducing.
