Alexander Bishop, DPhil, of UT Health San Antonio, with team members at the Greehey Children's Cancer Research Institute, previously showed that a genetic code-reading machine is overactive in Ewing sarcoma. In a study published July 15 in Nature, his lab confirmed that, in Ewing sarcoma, this overactivity causes the nucleoli to break up into smaller entities. "We are working now to better understand the impacts of this biology in Ewing sarcoma and how we can take advantage of it therapeutically," Dr. Bishop said.
