Researchers circumvent radiation resistance in subtypes of brain tumours
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
Researchers have uncovered a gene that is overexpressed in mutated IDH1. Studies in human cells and a novel mouse model both show that this gene, called ZMYND8, plays a critical role in radiation resistance. When they knocked down the gene, the glioma cells became responsive to radiation tre
