The c-Myc cellular oncogene has diverse activities, including transformation, proliferation, and apoptosis. These activities are dependent on the ability of c-Myc to regulate gene transcription. c-Myc ...

The c-myc gene is commonly activated in a variety of human tumors. As a new report in the October 1 issue of Genes & Development shows, scientists are gaining a better understanding as to why. Dr.

Gastric cancer is one of the most common malignant cancers worldwide. Since the stage of early gastric cancer usually lasts for a long time and lacks obvious symptoms, the diagnosis of early gastric ...

Asymmetric cell division plays an important role during the development of our nervous and digestive systems. It is thought that T cells, a type of immune cell, can also divide asymmetrically, giving ...

Longitudinal monitoring of BRAF V600E mutation in urinary cell-free DNA of patients with metastatic cancers. This is an ASCO Meeting Abstract from the 2014 ASCO Annual Meeting I. This abstract does ...

Scientists have long known that in tumor cells, elevated levels of MYC’s protein product, c-Myc, are associated with poor clinical outcomes, including increased rates of metastasis, recurrence, and ...

Scientists at the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have found a new region in the c-Myc oncogene that would allow the development of a binding compound to target it. Their discovery is based on a ...

For decades, oncologists have watched a frustrating pattern repeat itself. Tumors fueled by the MYC protein, one of the most commonly hijacked genes in human cancer, often shrug off the very ...
