The development of resistance to anticancer chemotherapeutic agents remains a large problem. In some cases, such resistance is associated with altered control of a cellular process known as translation. Researchers have now identified a drug that inhibits translation and can enhance the sensitivity of mouse cancer cells to standard anticancer chemotherapeutic agents.
