BOSTON, Massachusetts, Sept. 21 -- Harvard Medical School issued the following news:
For the first time, researchers have shown in preclinical models that it's possible to treat cancer by delivering a gene that naturally suppresses tumors.
Although no two tumors are alike, most cancer cells do a combination of two things: overexpress genes that drive tumor growth and lose normal genes that suppress tumors.
Many therapies in development take aim at the prote . . .
