AI Summary (NQ-processed)
A research group led by Tokyo University of Technology has discovered a molecular mechanism that could lead to a new treatment strategy for malignant mesothelioma. They found that the DNA repair enzyme USP1 plays a crucial role in the survival of BAP1-mutated cancer cells, suggesting that inhibiting USP1 could selectively induce cancer cell death based on the concept of "synthetic lethality."
