Screen Developed to Identify New Anticancer Drug Targets

[Guest guest]

A new screening technology should lead to rapid identification of compounds

that can turn on tumor silencing genes ... already implicated in

contributing to the bad behavior of lymphoma cells when restricted by

enzymes.

" The method was efficient enough to permit screening of the entire genome,

including 21,122 genes, and revealed 128 factors that are involved in

regulating gene expression. "

Comment: A few such compounds have already achieve marketing approval for

the treatment of lymphoma, such as SAHA and Romidepsin

All the best,
