If one component of the complex is deleted or removed, the cancer cells are sent into overdrive and die, finds a Yale-led study published Feb.10 in Science Signaling.

The findings, meaningful to all patients with leukemia but especially those who have relapsed, were published Jan. 8 in Nature Cancer.
