Strategy Discovered to Activate Genes that Suppress Tumors and Inhibit Cancer
Cancer cells. A research team led by two scientists at Penn State University has developed a promising cancer-fighting strategy for "reactivating" genes that cause cancer tumors to shrink and die. The discovery may aid in the development of an innovative anti-cancer drug that effectively targets unhealthy, cancerous tissue without damaging healthy, non-cancerous tissue and vital organs.
