Antifungal Drug Functions as Vascular Disrupting Agent to Block Tumor Growth

Genes that maintain cell walls in yeast have been repurposed in vertebrates to regulate vein and artery growth, and antifungal drugs that target these yeast genes show promise as anticancer agents by interfering with the development of new blood vessels required by growing tumors. More...
