Abstract
In this issue of Science Translational Medicine, Gasparian et al. use a clever cell-based screen to identify a family of DNA-binding small molecules—curaxins—that inhibit tumor cell growth and division. The curaxins’ mechanism of action pinpoints a new chromatin-remodeling factor as a therapeutic target for cancer.
