Inhibition of ribosome biogenesis as new treatment strategy for advanced cancers

Nearly ninety per cent of all cancer patient deaths are due to metastasis. A study from Uppsala University shows that a process that allows the cells to metastasize is aided by the synthesis of new ribosomes, the cell components in which proteins are produced.

Research into cancer signaling network reveals new roadmap to tumor control

In this advanced age of molecular sleuthing, a research team led by Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center have findings that suggest tumors will eventually become resistant to drug inhibitors of a common cancer pathway (dubbed YAP/TAZ), now in preclinical development.
