Tackling A Hard-to-treat Childhood Cancer By Targeting Epigenetic Changes

A very difficult-to-treat child leukemia turns out to be launched by a small but potent epigenetic change that could potentially be reversed relatively easily with drugs: modification of the histones that help package DNA. Blocking this modification could potentially prevent a variety of cancer-promoting genes from being turned on, say researchers at Children's Hospital Boston.
