New strategy against treatment-resistant prostate cancer identified (IMAGE)
Caption
A study from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis has identified an RNA molecule that suppresses prostate tumors. According to the research — conducted in mice implanted with human prostate tumor samples — restoring this so-called long noncoding RNA could be a new strategy to treat prostate cancer that has developed resistance to hormonal therapies. Pictured are prostate cancer cells. The androgen receptor is shown in dark red. Cell nuclei are outlined in blue.
