Abstract P5-04-04: Cutting the ties that bind: Targeting chaperonin-containing T-complex (CCT) for therapeutic intervention in the treatment of advanced stage breast cancer
Abstract:Metastatic disease is a principal cause of death from breast cancer. This is due in part to the development of resistance to current therapeutics and the often debilitating side effects that impair quality of life. The challenge is to therapeutically target an essential physiological function of cancer cells not found in normal, non-transformed cells. To this end, we discovered CT20p, a therapeutic peptide that causes cancer-specific death in human breast tumor cells and tumor regression in xenograft models of… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
