Promising Cancer Treatment That Will Target 6-thiodG in Telomeres

Telomeres with a small molecule called 6-thio-2'-deoxyguanosine (6-thiodG) that takes advantage of the cell's 'biological clock' to kill cancer cells and shrink tumor growth have been targeted by cell biologists at University of Texas (UT) Southwestern Medical Center. Mice studies revealed that 6-thio-2'-deoxyguanosine could stop the growth of cancer cells in culture and decrease the growth of tumors. 6-thiodG acts by targeting a unique mechanism that regulates ...
