A team of researchers at Roswell Park , led by Dhyan Chandra, PhD, has discovered a new therapeutic target for neuroendocrine prostate cancer, a rare and hard-to-treat form of prostate cancer. Their findings, newly published in the journal Oncogene, suggest that a set of processes known as the mitochondrial unfolded protein response, could be an Achilles’ heel for this often-deadly cancer type, and may point the way to a new treatment approach.
