In the new study, a little-known mouse protein was found to disrupt cancer-causing chemical changes to genes associated with human colorectal cancer cells. The mouse version of the protein, called STELLA, disrupted a key epigenetic factor and impaired tumor growth better than the protein\u2019s human version. By pinpointing the amino acids (building blocks of a protein) responsible for the difference in activity, the research team developed and tested a drug strategy using those amino acids to treat colorectal cancer.<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hopkinsmedicine.org\/news\/newsroom\/news-releases\/2025\/01\/scientists-identify-new-epigenetic-approach-to-target-colorectal-cancer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">APRENDE M\u00c1S<\/a><\/h5>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Researchers from the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center and the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed a novel [&hellip;]<\/p>","protected":false},"author":102,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"class_list":["post-6950","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","cancer-type-colorectal","role-person-with-cancer","post-cat-search-driven","post-cat-study","media-type-text"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gonaviance.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6950","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gonaviance.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gonaviance.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gonaviance.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/102"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gonaviance.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6950"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/gonaviance.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6950\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gonaviance.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6950"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gonaviance.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6950"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
