First disease-specific protein library opens new path for drugs to fight breast cancer
March 9th, 2006
In research that could significantly advance the pace of drug discovery in the fight against breast cancer, Harvard Medical School investigators announced they have created the first publicly available library of reliably expressible proteins of a human disease, in this case for breast cancer. Perhaps more significantly, these researchers expressed a subset of the 1,300 protein-expressing complementary DNAs in the library into a model system mimicking cells of a human breast, allowing them to study on a broad scale how these proteins might contribute to the development of breast cancer. Through this comprehensive approach, they identified potentially novel functional...
