Abstract
Although resistance develops in response to androgen receptor-targeted therapy in advanced prostate cancer, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. The protein ZMYND8 is now shown to bind FOXM1 and the SWI–SNF complex, promoting the onset of neuroendocrine prostate cancer, which can thus be abrogated through small-molecule ZMYND8 inhibition.
期刊介绍:
Cancer is a devastating disease responsible for millions of deaths worldwide. However, many of these deaths could be prevented with improved prevention and treatment strategies. To achieve this, it is crucial to focus on accurate diagnosis, effective treatment methods, and understanding the socioeconomic factors that influence cancer rates.
Nature Cancer aims to serve as a unique platform for sharing the latest advancements in cancer research across various scientific fields, encompassing life sciences, physical sciences, applied sciences, and social sciences. The journal is particularly interested in fundamental research that enhances our understanding of tumor development and progression, as well as research that translates this knowledge into clinical applications through innovative diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Additionally, Nature Cancer welcomes clinical studies that inform cancer diagnosis, treatment, and prevention, along with contributions exploring the societal impact of cancer on a global scale.
In addition to publishing original research, Nature Cancer will feature Comments, Reviews, News & Views, Features, and Correspondence that hold significant value for the diverse field of cancer research.
