2022-10-04
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine (decitabine), is a chemotherapeutic DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) inhibitor widely used to treat myelodysplastic syndrome and acute myeloid leukemias. Decitabine’s anti-neoplastic activity is thought to result from inhibition of DNMTs leading to passive demethylation of 5’methylcytosines (5mC) in rapidly dividing tissues, resulting in cell death. However, we previo...
