Bromodomain and extraterminal proteins foster the core transcriptional regulatory programs and confer vulnerability in liposarcoma

Liposarcoma (LPS) is a rare cancer that can acquire resistance to chemotherapy. Here, the authors map super-enhancers in LPS, finding BET-protein dependent mechanisms that can be targeted by a BET protein degrader, which also can overcome acquired resistance to chemotherapy in LPS.
