Zusammenfassung: | Compositions and methods are disclosed that employ Tousled-like kinase to selectively protect normal tissues from the adverse effects of radiation therapy, genotoxic chemotherapy and the like without protecting cancer tissues; or to sensitize cancer cells to such cancer therapies without similarly sensitizing normal tissues; or both protect normal cells and sensitize cancer cells. The compositions and methods may be used as a complementary therapy to selectively reduce adverse effects of the principal therapy (radiation therapy or chemotherapy) in normal tissues, with minimal impact on the antitumor effects of the principal therapy. |
