Four studies in this issue report new mechanisms underlying the function of the chromatin remodeling SWI/SNF complex in controlling gene expression and suppressing tumor development, providing valuable insights into the treatment of cancers harboring mutations in genes encoding SWI/SNF complex subunits.
本期的四项研究报告了染色质重塑SWI/SNF复合物在控制基因表达和抑制肿瘤发展中发挥作用的新机制,为治疗编码SWI/SNF复合物亚基的基因发生突变的癌症提供了有价值的见解。
