Protein ‘Handbrake’ halts Leukemia in its Tracks

Researchers from the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute in Melbourne, Australia, have shown they can stop leukemia in its tracks by targeting a protein that puts the handbrake on cancer cell growth. The researchers discovered that targeting a protein called Hhex could cure acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in preclinical disease models, and could be a key target for new therapies for human leukemia.
