David Lane: How to lose tumor suppression
David Lane: How to lose tumor suppression
David Philip Lane publishes in Science with an article entitled "How to lose tumor suppression". The tumor suppressor gene, TP53, is the most commonly mutated gene in human cancer. The resulting loss of activity of the encoded protein, p53, causes genetic instability and resistance to chemotherapy.
Novel oxygen-sensing pathway identified that is lost in hypoxic tumors and in cells arising in the von Hippel-Lindau hereditary cancer syndrome causing cancer therapy resistance
Novel oxygen-sensing pathway identified that is lost in hypoxic tumors and in cells arising in the von Hippel-Lindau hereditary cancer syndrome causing cancer therapy resistance
In a recent publication in PNAS, Susanne Schlisio et al identified how to kill therapy-resistant cells in hypoxic tumors and in cells arising in the von Hippel-Lindau hereditary cancer.
