MYC and osteosarcoma: We recently reported that a peptide containing 29 amino acids (aa) named ELAS1 [i:laz wΛn] would serve as such an agent because apoptosis of Myc-ELAS1-expressing human osteosarcoma (U2OS) cells is induced by one-tenth of the effective dosage of γ-irradiation in Myc-vector-expressing cells [9].
