Novel Two-pronged Method Targets Cancer Cells’ Telomerase and Chromosomes

An international team of researchers has developed a new technique for identifying potential cancer drugs that could streamline the development of therapies. The team devised a way to screen potential drug compounds to select those that interfere with tumor cells in two ways.Their study (“ Systematic Analysis of Compounds Specifically Targeting Telomeres and Telomerase for Clinical Implications in Cancer Therapy ”), published in Cancer Research , seeks to build on an existing method
