GW posted a link to a news report on decitabine on
the Indications_Cancer thread. Supergen has followed
up today by doing a press release.

Decitabine's unique mechanism of action, the regulation of methylation of DNA, allows the genes to be switched back on, so that the cells are once again sensitive to the effects of the chemotherapy.

So...tumor suppressor genes are back on, or DNA repair enzymes are back on? Joe says "unique"...is that so?

interferon-resistant tumors could be made susceptible to the drug by treating them with decitabine


Can a bioscientist help refine this query?
