Epigenetic Deficiencies and Replicative Stress: Driving Cancer Cells to an Early Grave

    5 Citations (Scopus)

    Abstract

    Cancer cell-specific synthetic lethal interactions entail promising therapeutic possibilities. In this issue of Cancer Cell, Pfister et al. describe a synthetic lethal interaction where cancer cells deficient in H3K36me3 owing to SETD2 loss-of-function mutation are strongly sensitized to inhibition of WEE1, a cell cycle controlling kinase.
