P53 ‘master switch’ remains top target in gene signaling network controlling cancer
The lab of Joaquin Espinosa, Ph.D., find no essential “second in command” in gene signaling network controlled by tumor-suppressor gene p53. There are two important categories of genes involved in cancer development, oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes. When oncogenes gain function, e.g. through mutation, they actively promote cancer – drugs that turn them off...
