Nuclear gatekeeper could block undruggable prostate cancer targets
Certain molecular drivers of cancer growth are "undruggable—it's been nearly impossible to develop chemicals that would block their action and prevent cancer growth. Many of these molecules function by passing cancer-promoting ...

For prostate cancer, study identifies how common mutation makes good cells go bad
In more than half of all prostate tumors, two genes—one for a transcription factor called ERG, the other a testosterone-triggered gene called TMPRSS2—become fused together, resulting in excess ERG expression. The TMPRSS2-ERG ...
