Small cell lung cancer, or SCLC, is aggressive, lethal and particularly cruel because chemotherapy initially works so well. But within just a few months, SCLC becomes resistant to drugs and dashes hopes. “What is seen in the clinic is often quite remarkable responses to chemotherapy initially, but these are just transient responses and tumors come back,” said David MacPherson, PhD, a Fred Hutch Cancer Center scientist who specializes in small cell lung cancer.

Some things just go together like “rock and roll” and “fish and chips” or, in molecular biology, “transcription factors” and the “nearby genes they regulate.” The standard, simplified story goes like this: transcription factors are molecular workers that scan DNA strands and bind to specific sequences close to the genes they either turn on or off.

Table of Contents If there’s one thing that you can say about Samsung, it’s that they are doggedly dedicated — some might say stubborn — but however you want to spin it, it’s clear that Samsung has a vision and will see it through, come hell or high water.

Honored to work with and write about such smart people 🤓 !
Honored to see our work highlighted by @fredhutch and @HutchBasicSci. In this study, We mapped the binding and regulatory targets of nearly all yeast transcription factors and found that the classic model often doesn’t hold. Check out the paper here https://t.co/BYqmrv72M2
