Our latest research is now on bioRxiv: Inhibition of autophagy as a novel therapy for the treatment of neurofibromatosis type 1 tumors biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… @LSI_Exeter @UniofExeter

Inhibition of autophagy as a novel therapy for the treatment of neurofibromatosis type 1 tumors

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a genetic disorder associated with various symptoms including the formation of benign tumors along nerves. Drug treatments are currently limited. The MEK inhibitor...
