Exploiting cancer cells' weaknesses

physorg.com — “When designing new cancer drugs, biologists often target specific gene mutations found only in cancer cells, or in a subset of cancer cells. A team of MIT biologists is now taking a slightly different approach, targeting a trait shared by nearly all cancer cells -- they have too many chromosomes.View full resource at physorg.com

Drug resistance mechanisms identified in most common form of melanoma

sciencedaily.com — “Researchers have found that melanoma patients whose cancers are caused by mutation of the BRAF gene become resistant to a promising targeted treatment through another genetic mutation or the overexpression of a cell surface protein, both driving survival of the cancer and accounting for relapse. The study could result in the development of new targeted therapies to fight resistance once the patient stops responding and the cancer begins to grow again.View full resource at sciencedaily.com
