Pushing MYC inhibition closer to the clinic

Cutting-edge sequencing technology has revolutionized cancer diagnosis and since identified several so-called cancer driver genomic aberrations. This has led to the development of an extensive and powerful arsenal of anti-cancer ...

Why tumor cells leave home

(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 ...

Cellular fuel gauge may hold the key to restricting cancer growth

Researchers at McGill University have discovered that a key regulator of energy metabolism in cancer cells known as the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) may play a crucial role in restricting cancer cell growth. AMPK acts ...
