Abstract: Addressing an urgent translational need for patients with hereditary cancer syndromes caused by mutations in mismatch repair (MMR) genes!

https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI195189 Dolores Hambardzumyan & team develop mouse models of germline and somatic MMR-deficient high-grade gliomas, finding a role for MMR genes in tumor growth and temozolomide resistance, and presenting KL-50 as a therapeutic avenue.

The figure demonstrates a potent anti-tumor effect from KL-50 treatment in glioblastoma models.
