Discovery suggests new way to target mantle cell lymphoma
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
A form of blood cancer known as mantle cell lymphoma is critically dependent on a protein that coordinates gene expression, such that blocking its activity with an experimental drug dramatically slows the growth of this lymphoma in preclinical tests, according to a study from Weill Cornell M
