Researchers find an epigenetic adaptation showing resistance to targeted therapy in T cell leukemia

Although gene mutations can result in drug resistance, scientists in the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania have found a vital, non-genetic version that could also boost resistance to targeted treatment in T cell leukemia, which is a kind of blood cell cancer.
