Abstract:
Poor differentiation is an important hallmark of cancer cells, and differentiation therapy holds great promise for cancer treatment. The restoration of IkB kinase α (IKKα) leads to the differentiation of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells with reduced tumorigenicity. The ifndings by Yan etal. validate the polycomb protein enhancer of zeste homologue 2 (EZH2) as a target for intervention.
