Scientists from the Institute for Advanced Studies in New Jersey are examining how oncogenes and tumour suppressor genes handle cellular stress, and said that each of these opposing
Cancer Research Boosted by Discovery of Designer Protein
A major breakthrough in how to target and destroy the most malignant and aggressive brain cancer cells has been made by researchers.
A major breakthrough in how to target and destroy the most malignant and aggressive brain cancer cells has been made by researchers.
The research specifically examines the roles of the p53 tumour suppressor and the oncogene, NF-kappaB.
The p53 suppressor limits the consequences of stress by initiating cell death and promoting metabolic patterns in the cell. The oncogene NF-kappaB on the other hand, promotes cell division resulting in the synthesis of substrates for cell division.
Study: Slobbery Kisses from Man's Best Friend Aid Cancer Research
Research says that doggy licks could provide the DNA keys to findings new treatments for rare cancers and other diseases in both dogs and human patients.

"Our cells use the p53 and NF-kappaB pathways to respond to cellular stress: one controls cancer, the other immunity. If they get out of balance, we're in trouble.," said Gerald Weissmann, M.D., Editor-in-Chief of The FASEB Journal.
