Bidirectional network hubs: NT-genes as candidate targets for partial cancer reversal

Background Reversing the tumor phenotype is a long-standing challenge in cancer biology. Although GRNs comprise thousands of genes, normal and tumor tissues occupy distinct, low-dimensional attractors in expression space, raising the possibility that targeting a few key genes could induce widespread transcriptional cha...
