New Role For Gene That Counteracts Formation Of Tumors

... Scientists from the Flanders Interuniversity Institute for Biotechnology (VIB) achieved a breakthrough in cancer research. The researchers, connected to Ghent University, discovered the function of a mediator involved in suppressing the development of tumors. Using a mouse model, they have shown that absence of the mediator makes the mice susceptible to the development of cancer. Through this research, the scientists are contributing to a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms that control tumor development. ...
