Research reveals cancer threat from virus protecting enzymes
New York [US], January 1 (ANI): According to a study led by Weill Cornell Medicine researchers, an enzyme that protects human cells from viruses may contribute to cancer progression into a more malignant state by inducing a variety of mutations in cancer cells. The discovery suggests that the enzyme could be used as a target for future cancer therapies.
The researchers used a preclinical model of bladder cancer to investi
