Research reveals glioma drug exploits DNA repair defects to selectively ta
Updated : 3 years, 7 months ago IST
Washington [US], July 28 (ANI): A new class of glioma medications takes advantage of tumours lacking the DNA repair enzyme MGMT; the medications cause the generation of cytotoxic DNA and kill tumour cells specifically without the risk of developing resistance, according to research.
