Deskripsi

Kildey et al find that high levels of mitotic regulator CDCA3 correlates with sensitivity to platinum agents in non-small cell lung cancer patients and cell lines. They show that interfering with CDCA3 degradation through CK2 inhibition enhances CDCA3 levels and increases sensitivity to platinum agents suggesting a therapeutic route.
