Research led by Prof. Ming Chan reveals modulating chromatin dynamics of H2B mutations, shedding light on novel targeted therapy of breast cancer
12 October 2026
A research team led by Prof. Kui-ming Chan from CityUHK BMS discovered that H2BE113K, a missense H2B mutation, promotes colony formation and lung metastasis of breast cancer. The research revealed that H2BE113K plays a critical role in chromatin regulation, cellular function and breast cancer progression, shedding light on novel targeted therapy of breast cancer.
