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 ... CSHL scientists trace causal link between a tumor suppressor gene and liver cancer
... ," 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 ... Researchers identify promising cancer drug target in prostate tumors
... normally kept under control by a tumor-suppressor protein, PTEN, which acts like a brake ... p110beta in mice that also lacked the PTEN tumor suppressor protein and were therefore highly prone to prostate ... USC researchers identify tumor suppressor that manages cellular cleaning and recycling proceses
