Researchers have discovered a clinical drug that sensitises glioblastoma (GBM) cells to radiotherapy and could replace the current standard of care. In addition, they discovered that cladribine, a clinical drug, activates DGKB and inhibits DGAT1. GBM is a WHO grade IV brain tumour with dismal prognosis.

Further, the expression of any gene is dependent on the rate at which it is transcribed into mRNA and translated into proteins. There are various regulatory proteins or transcription factors that are responsible for affecting the transcription rate. These genetic switches assist transcription factors in binding to the promoter region.
