GD2 and GD3 synthase: novel drug targets for cancer therapy

Our recent study suggests that targeting GD3 synthase (also known as ST8SIA1)—the rate-limiting enzyme in biosynthesis of the breast cancer stem cell marker GD2—abrogates metastasis and depletes the cancer stem cell populations within a tumor, thus providing an effective therapeutic strategy against...
