Scientists Make Progress on an 'Undruggable' Cancer Gene

Original: Scientists untangle the biology of an 'undruggable' cancer gene

Scientists report new progress in understanding the biology of a cancer gene long considered 'undruggable', meaning standard drug design has failed against it. The work clarifies how the gene drives tumour growth, which researchers say could open paths to targeting cancers that until now had few treatment options.

Why now: New research is offering hope against a cancer-driving gene long thought impossible to target with drugs.
