MYC proteins: A potential target for new anti-cancer agents

MYC proteins play an important role in many types of cancer. A research team at the University of Würzburg has now succeeded in indirectly influencing these proteins—with clear consequences for the tumor.

Study finds the metabolic regulator MYC is defective in obesity

Research led by Maynooth University and published today in the journal Science Signaling has found that the protein MYC is essential for MAIT cell growth, proliferation, metabolism and function. The latest findings are of ...

Researchers discover pathway critical for lymphoma development

MYC proteins are important regulators of cancer cell growth, proliferation and metabolism through their ability to increase the expression of proteins involved in these processes. Deregulation of MYC proteins occurs in more ...

Super-enhancers: The villain fueling certain cancers

In a recent study published in Cancer Research, a team led by researchers at Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU) identified a specific small RNA molecule, called a microRNA (miRNA or miR), that has the potential to ...

Study identifies an Achilles heel of many types of cancer

A Ludwig Cancer Research study has uncovered a novel vulnerability in tumors that are driven by a common cancer gene known as MYC. Such cancers, it found, are highly dependent on the cell's machinery for making fats and other ...
