(Medical Xpress)—Malignant cells can escape from primary tumors and colonize new sites in other tissues. In a new study, LMU researchers show how the transcription factor AP4 promotes the development of such metastatic tumors. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2013-06-tumor-cells-home.html Cancer Tue, 11 Jun 2013 09:20:02 EST news290159912 (Medical Xpress)—A protein called Myc, commonly found at high levels inside cancer cells, fuels the disease by allowing cells to override their in-built self-destruct mechanisms, according to two new studies by US scientists. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2012-10-myc-protein-cancer-volume.html Cancer Mon, 01 Oct 2012 09:15:02 EST news268301694 Researchers studying the molecular signals that drive a specific type of lymphoma have discovered a key biological pathway leading to this type of cancer. Cancerous cells have been described as being "addicted" to certain oncogenes (cancer-causing genes), and the new research may lay the groundwork for breaking that addiction and effectively treating aggressive types of B cell lymphoma. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2012-05-protein-cell-lymphoma.html Cancer Mon, 07 May 2012 16:02:43 EST news255625320
