Inhibition of histone deacetylases in cancer therapy: lessons from leukaemia
23 Feb 2016
Abstract excerpt
Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are a key component of the epigenetic machinery regulating gene expression, and behave as oncogenes in several cancer types, spurring the development of HDAC inhibitors (HDACi) as anticancer drugs.
