Targeting proliferating cell nuclear antigen and its protein interactions induces apoptosis in multiple myeloma cells.

Multiple myeloma is a hematological cancer that is considered incurable despite advances in treatment strategy during the last decade. Therapies targeting single pathways are unlikely to succeed due to the heterogeneous nature of the malignancy. Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) is a multifu...

description Multiple myeloma is a hematological cancer that is considered incurable despite advances in treatment strategy during the last decade.
