Scientists untangle the biology of an 'undruggable' cancer gene

Researchers report progress in understanding the biology of a cancer gene long considered 'undruggable' — meaning conventional drugs have failed to target it. By mapping how the gene drives tumour growth, the work could open new avenues for cancer therapies. Readers are sharing and discussing the study, with interest focused on what the findings could mean for future treatment of hard-to-treat cancers.

Why now: New research offers a possible path to targeting a cancer gene long written off as untreatable with drugs.
