SAT1 and glioblastoma multiforme: Disarming the resistance

Glioblastoma multiforme is the most common and most detrimental form of brain tumor, with a current survival time of as little as 14 months. We have recently identified a novel mechanism of therapeutic resistance based on overexpression of the polyamine catabolic enzyme spermidine/spermine N1-acetyl...

We have recently identified a novel mechanism of therapeutic resistance based on overexpression of the polyamine catabolic enzyme spermidine/spermine N1-acetyltransferase, which promotes DNA repair via chromatin modification.
