A study, which focused on the DNA switches of prostate cancer cells, reveals insights into enhancers that become active during cancer development and turn on genes linked to the disease. The study found that enhancers work cooperatively in 3D networks, rather than as isolated switches. Some enhancers function as “central hubs” that control many genes, while others play a supporting role. These findings could help with the development of targeted cancer therapies.
