Cancer/Gene Therapy Study Ranked as Top 10 Key Research in 2009
A study conducted by Jerry Mendell, MD, Janiah Kota, PhD, and colleagues in the Center for Gene Therapy at The Research Institute at Nationwide Children’s Hospital, in collaboration with Johns Hopkins University, has been designated as one of Nature Medicine’s top 10 key papers published in 2009. Nature Medicine is a premier journal for biomedical research.
The paper details a promising new cancer-stopping therapy. The researchers discovered that delivering microRNAs, small molecules that are highly expressed in normal tissues but lost in diseased cells, can result in tumor suppression.
