Breakthrough in battling Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

A research team led by biologists at City University of Hong Kong (CityU) has identified a set of specific super-enhancers that stimulate the activity of the Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) genes, and that deleting certain specific super-enhancers can reduce tumour growth. The findings may help discover new effective drug targets for TNBC patients to improve their survival chance.
