Cell type-specific properties and environment shape tissue specificity of cancer genes
One of the biggest mysteries in cancer research remains why mutations in certain genes cause cancer only at specific sites in the human body. The poor correlation between the expression level of a cancer gene and the tissues in which it causes malignant transformations raises the question of which factors determine the tissue-specific effects ofContinue reading “Cell type-specific properties and environment shape tissue specificity of cancer genes”
Autism have mutated cancer or tumor genes
Researchers studying two seemingly unrelated conditions — autism and cancer — have unexpectedly converged on a surprising discovery. Some people with autism have mutated cancer or tumor genes that apparently caused their brain disorder. Enlarge This Image Christopher Berkey for The New York Times Richard Ewing, 10, who’s autistic and has a tumor-causing gene, withContinue reading “Autism have mutated cancer or tumor genes”
