Summary
Researchers have identified an unexpected molecular vulnerability in cancers carrying BAF mutations. Mutations found in roughly 20% of human cancers may promote tumor growth by changing how DNA is organized inside cells. Researchers have identified a mechanism that allows a regulatory protein to reshape the genome's three-dimensional structure, altering the activity of genes involved in [...]
