WASHINGTON, March 4 (TNSjou) -- Northwestern University researchers developed a strategy to eliminate cancer-driving proteins that resist existing treatments by directing them to the waste-disposal machinery of the cell. The study, published Feb. 24, introduces protein-like polymers called HYDRACs that grab problematic proteins and deliver them for degradation, triggering cancer cell death.
