Treatment of leukemia in mice is possible with a novel two-pronged strategy targeting DNA synthesis, reveals a study in The Journal of Experimental Medicine. Current treatments for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), an aggressive form of blood cancer, include conventional chemotherapy drugs that inhibit DNA synthesis. These drugs are effective but have serious side effects on normal dividing tissues. In order to replicate, cells must make copies of ...Wednesday, 26 February 2014
DNA Synthesis Successfully Targeted by Two-Pronged Approach in Leukemic Cells
Treatment of leukemia in mice is possible with a novel two-pronged strategy targeting DNA synthesis, reveals a study in The Journal of Experimental Medicine. Current treatments for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), an aggressive form of blood cancer, include conventional chemotherapy drugs that inhibit DNA synthesis. These drugs are effective but have serious side effects on normal dividing tissues. In order to replicate, cells must make copies of ...
