A new way of treating cancer has been identified by a team of researchers from five Swedish universities, led by Karolinska Institutet and the Science for Life Laboratory. The concept is presented in the journal iNature/i and is based on inhibiting a specific enzyme called MTH1, which cancer cells, unlike normal cells, require for survival. Without this enzyme, oxidized nucleotides are incorporated into DNA, resulting in lethal DNA double-strand breaks in cancer ...Thursday 3 April 2014
Researchers Propose New General Concept for the Treatment of Cancer
A new way of treating cancer has been identified by a team of researchers from five Swedish universities, led by Karolinska Institutet and the Science for Life Laboratory. The concept is presented in the journal iNature/i and is based on inhibiting a specific enzyme called MTH1, which cancer cells, unlike normal cells, require for survival.
