The finding suggests a new cancer treatment approach aiming to block this enzyme, potentially harming only cancer cells while sparing normal ones.

Senate trims penalties in school assault bill compromise
Senate action reduces House expulsion push for assaults on staff and keeps 24 hour locker search rules for all, with unannounced searches allowed for repeat violators. The bill adds principal led suspensions with board ratification and special follow ups to protect students and staff. It includes 100 percent workers comp for injured employees and requires clear and convincing evidence to sue teachers under corporal punishment laws. Connolly calls it a balance toward safe learning environments in Iowa.
