City of Hope scientists develop targeted chemotherapy able to kill all solid tumors in preclinical research
The City of Hope-developed investigational small molecule selectively disrupts DNA replication and repair in cancer cells, leaving healthy cells unaffected, a new study reports. The City of Hope-developed small molecule AOH1996 targets a cancerous variant of the protein  PCNA. In its mutated form, PCNA is critical in DNA replication and repair of all expanding tumors. Here we see untreated cancer cells (left) and cancer cells treated with AOH1996 (right) undergoing programmed cell death (violet). (Photo credit: City of Hope) LOS ANGELES — Researchers at...
