Targeting Abnormal Methylation Enzymes: A New Approach to Cancer Therapy

Ming C. Liau, Chrinstine L. Craig & Linda L. Baker · Journal of Cancer and Tumor International · 2025

The objective of this article is to promote abnormal methylation enzymes (MEs) as a critical cause of cancer and the destabilization of abnormal MEs as a new approach to direct cancer therapy. MEs are a ternary enzyme complex consisting methionine adenosyltransferase (MAT)-methyl...

Open access Research Article 10.9734/jcti/2025/v15i2295

Cell Differentiation Agents Recommended for the Rescue of Metastatic, Unresponsive and Recurrent Cancer Patients

Ming C. Liau, Christine L. Craig & Linda L. Baker · Journal of Cancer and Tumor International · 2024

The objective of this article is to develop cell differentiation agent (CDA) formulations to the rescue of cancer patients whose cancer stem cells (CSCs) have become a dominant issue such as metastatic, unresponsive and recurrent cancer patients. Although CSCs are only a small mi...

Open access Research Article 10.9734/jcti/2024/v14i2254

Destabilization of Abnormal Methylation Enzymes as the Only Viable Option for the Elimination of Cancer Stem Cells to Save Cancer Patients

Ming C. Liau, Christine L. Craig & Linda L. Baker · International Research Journal of Oncology · 2024

Cytotoxic chemotherapy was a tragic by-product of World War II. It was the major therapeutic modality employed but failed to win the War on Cancer during 1971-1976 declared by President Nixon. Despite the failure, killing of cancer cells (CCs) remained the commanding principle of...

Wound Unhealing as a Grave Issue of Cancer

Ming C. Liau, Christine L. Craig & Linda L. Baker · International Research Journal of Oncology · 2023

Wound healing requires the proliferation and the terminal differentiation of PSCs, the most primitive stem cells expressing abnormal differentiation enzymes (MEs). Wound if not healed properly, PSCs may be forced to evolve into cancer stem cells (CSCs), and then to progress to fa...

No Scar as an Indication of Perfect Wound Healing, Ugly Scar as Imperfect Wound Healing and Cancer as Failed Wound Healing

Ming C. Liau & Christine Liau Craig · Journal of Cancer and Tumor International · 2022

Wound healing and cancer evolution are closely related to involve progenitor Stem Cells (PSCs) as the critical common elements. Wound healing requires the proliferation and the Terminal Differentiation (TD) of PSCs. Wound triggers biological and immunological responses. The biolo...

On the Mechanism of Wound Healing and the Impact of Wound on Cancer Evolution and Cancer Therapy

Ming C. Liau & Christine Liau Craig · International Research Journal of Oncology · 2021

This opinion article highlights the mechanism of wound healing and the impact of wound on cancer evolution and cancer therapy. Wound healing requires the proliferation and the terminal differentiation (TD) of progenitor stem cells (PSCs). PSCs are pluripotent stem cells capable o...

In Pursuance of Differentiation Inducers to Combat Cancer via Targeting of Abnormal Methylation Enzymes

Ming C. Liau, Jai-Hyun Kim & John P. Fruehauf · Journal of Cancer and Tumor International · 2020

Cell differentiation agent-2 (CDA-2) was a promising hypomethylating agent approved by the Chinese FDA for the therapy of MDS in China. The active components of CDA-2 are differentiation inducers (DIs) and differentiation helper inducers (DHIs). DIs are chemicals capable of elimi...
