Mayo Clinic researchers have developed an animal model that can test the function of two prominent tumor suppressor genes, p16 and p19, in the aging process. Scientists knew that both these genes were ...
... ," said Dr. Scott W. Lowe. "We set out to conclusively identify DLC1 as a tumor suppressor, which had not been done before, and to show at the molecular level how the absence of this gene produces ...
... with the help of lysosomal enzymes for recycling.
The findings of the study indicate that the tumor suppressor UVRAG not only facilities autophagosome formation, but also facilitates autophagosome ...
... of deletions of chromosomal regions. These regions were hypothesized to be the location of most of the missing tumor suppressor genes. A comparison of this list with the genome sequence of a normal ...
... -scale, rapid, cost-effective genetic screen that in a preliminary test succeeded in uncovering 13 new tumor suppressors in human liver cancer, many of which have not been linked to cancer before.
Cancer and cell biology experts at the University of Cincinnati (UC) have identified a new tumor suppressor that may help scientists develop more targeted drug therapies to combat lung cancer. The ...
... this class of drugs could have a significant effect on cancer biology because of its action on this tumor suppressor gene," says Dr. Smallridge.
According to Dr. Copland, "RS5444 and other so-called ...

... signaling pathways involved in connective tissue disease and highlights a new role for tumor-suppressors in the regulation of fibrotic conditions. "Our findings provide direct evidence that increased ...
... in multiple organs, similar to what is seen in human patients with scleroderma. The study also reveals an intriguing but unexpected regulatory role for a tumor suppressor gene in fibrotic disease.
... (NHGRI) found that MMP-8 actually serves as a tumor suppressor gene in melanoma. Consequently, in the estimated 6 percent of melanoma patients whose tumors harbor a mutated MMP-8 gene or ...

Scientists have discovered a gene that protects PTEN, a major tumor-suppressor that is reduced but rarely mutated in about half of all breast cancers.
... its payload: a fully functioning copy of the P53 tumor suppressor gene.
Normal cells have two copies ... 1 trials are designed, investigators are seeing anti-tumor efficacy. Dr. Chang says she is hopeful ...
