Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Electronic versions

New approaches to drug discovery are unlocking enormous therapeutic potential residing in cancer-specific molecules. Brachyury is emerging as an exciting new drug target for the rare bone cancer chordoma. Here, recent advances targeting Brachyury in chordoma are discussed and how these might open doors to the targeting of other, more common cancer types.
