Molecule target DNA donut to stop cancer cells dividing

Cancer is essentially just cells that have gone rogue and are dividing unchecked, and now Australian researchers have designed a new molecule that may put a stop to that. It targets a protein called proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), a donut-shaped structure that plays a key role in cell division, which could lead to a new class of cancer treatments.
