Antibody-Drug Conjugate Kills Neuroblastoma Cells.

Abstract:

:Researchers have developed an antibody-drug conjugate with the potential to treat neuroblastoma. The agent targets ALK, which is found on neuroblastoma cells but not healthy cells, delivering a drug that causes DNA cross-links. Researchers have found that the antibody-drug conjugate kills ALK-expressing cells in vitro and increases survival in mouse models of neuroblastoma.

  • Gain-of-Function Genetic Alterations of G9a Drive Oncogenesis.

    abstract::Epigenetic regulators, when genomically altered, may become driver oncogenes that mediate otherwise unexplained pro-oncogenic changes lacking a clear genetic stimulus, such as activation of the WNT/β-catenin pathway in melanoma.
