Overactive MYC helps tumors fix DNA breaks and resist chemotherapy, study finds
medicalxpress - A protein best known for driving cancer growth also helps damaged tumor cells survive by repairing their DNA, according to a new study that could influence how some cancers are treated.
AI Summary: New research reveals overactive MYC drives tumor cells to repair DNA breaks more efficiently, enabling resistance to chemotherapy. By illuminating the repair pathways MYC hijacks, the study identifies potential targets to reverse resistance and improve treatment responses — because apparently cancers read the manual on how to survive your best shot.
