A New Way To Target Rapidly Dividing Breast Cancer Cells – Technology Networks
Scientists have discovered a new way to kill some multiplying human breast cancer cells by selectively attacking their cell division machinery.
Scientists at Johns Hopkins Medicine and the University of Oxford say they have found a new way to kill some multiplying human breast cancer cells by selectively attacking the core of their cell division machinery. The technique, so far tested only on lab-grown and patient-derived cancer cells, could advance efforts to find drugs that kill breast cancer cells in a subset of patients, and leave healthy cells unharmed.
A summary of the scientists’ findings are published Sept. 9 in Nature.
