Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA)–dependent protein kinase PKR is a growth inhibitory protein that induces death in virally infected cells, but its potential in controlling tumor growth is unknown. In August 19 Nature Biotechnology, Alexei Shir and Alexander Levitzki at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem show that activating PKR with a dsRNA molecule can be an effective method of inhibiting murine glioma growth (Nat Biotechnol 2002, DOI:10.1038/nbt730).
