Why do DNMT1-UHRF1 inhibitors show preferential cytotoxicity in cancer vs non-transformed cells?

OPEN

The abstract reports selective toxicity of AMSA-2 and MPB-7 in UHRF1-high cancer lines versus normal cells but doesn't explain the underlying mechanism. This selectivity principle could inform therapeutic strategies for neurodegenerative diseases involving aberrant DNA methylation.
