**Scientists Discover a Hidden Weakness in Cancer Cells That Could Transform Treatment**
By Medical Research Council Laboratory of Medical Sciences - Published on 28 October 2026
A new study reveals a previously overlooked weakness in certain cancer cells that could help researchers refine targeted treatments and reduce harmful side effects. Cancer cells that have lost one safeguard against DNA damage can become dependent on another, an enzyme called Wee1. Drugs that block Wee1 aim to exploit that weakness, but serious side [...]
