New Cancer Drugs: Breaking the Cell Cycle -- Spiro Rombotis

The cell cycle is a coordinated series of steps that cells follow during replication. Defects in cancer cells target or override these chemical constraints in proliferation. New drugs target the gatekeeper molecules that control cell division, impairing cancer growth. Spiro Rombotis from Cyclacel Pharmaceuticals discusses the next generation of drugs that potentially may slow, arrest, or possibly reverse growth of several insidious cancer subtypes.
