Scientists at Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute have shown that blocking the construction of nuclear pores complexes–large channels that control the flow of materials in and out of the cell nucleus–shrank aggressive tumors in mice while leaving healthy cells unharmed.
The study, published in Cancer Discovery, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research, reveals a new Achilles heel for cancer that may lead to better …
