The Wistar Institute’s Paul M. Lieberman and his lab identified and tested a method for targeting certain cancers caused by Epstein-Barr Virus.
Scientists at The Wistar Institute have discovered a potential target for gastric cancers associated with Epstein-Barr Virus. In a paper published in the journal mBio, Wistar’s Tempera lab investigates the epigenetic characteristics of gastric cancer associated with the Epstein-Barr Virus. In evaluating EBVaGC’s epigenetics—the series of biological signals associated with the genome that determines whether a given gene is expressed—the Tempera lab highlights a target that could advance as a future treatment for this type of cancer.
