A new study published in the journal ACS Chemical Biology suggests that re-routing cancer drugs to the 'power plants' of the cells that keep them alive is a promising approach to preventing emergence of the drug-resistant forms of cancer. Shana Kelley and colleagues explain that doxorubicin and other common forms of chemotherapy work by damaging the genes inside the nucleus of cancer cells. Cancer cells divide and multiply faster than surrounding normal cells, ...Saturday, 25 May 2013
Targeting Cell 'Power Plants' Promising Approach for Prevention of Drug-Resistant Cancers
