The Discovery of SWI/SNF Chromatin Remodeling Activity as a Novel and Targetable Dependency in Uveal Melanoma.

abstract：:Aberrant overexpression of antiapoptotic members of the Bcl-2 protein family, including Bcl-2 and Bcl-X(L), contributes to malignant transformation and subsequent resistance to traditional chemotherapeutics. Thus, these proteins represent attractive targets for novel anticancer agents. The small molecule, gossypol, wa...
