Antibodies show promise as candidates for therapeutics as well as tools for advancing mechanistic studies of the HER family receptors.

For some proteins, a single mutation, or change in its DNA instructions, is all it takes to tip the balance between functioning normally and causing cancer.

Scientists at NYU have created a drug that targets cancer-causing HER2 mutations without harming healthy cells. This new ...
