Targeting mitotic regulators in cancer cells for potential treatment
Project Description
Mitosis is a brief but critical time during the cell cycle. Many anticancer therapies are based on disrupting the mitosis of cancer cells. This project aims to investigate several novel mitotic regulators and evaluate the efficacy of small-molecule inhibitors targeting key mitotic components as potential anticancer agents.
