Mouse Bladder Cancer Model Lacks Tumor Suppressor Genes Cancer researchers have genetically engineered a line of mice to serve as a model of human bladder cancer through the combined deletion of the p53 and PTEN tumor suppressor genes from the animals' bladder epithelial cells. More..
Potential Inhibitor of the Myc Oncogene Identified Researchers seeking to understand the molecular factors that cause normal cells to become cancerous have found that transformation induced by the activity of the Myc oncogene can be inhibited by the action of a potential tumor suppressor gene called brain acid-soluble protein 1.
