The use of retroviruses and
oncogenes are potentially problematic for clinical applications involving cells derived from iPS cells due to the significant increased risk of inducing a cancer transformation.
Earlier we determined the characteristic frequencies of forty six
oncogene and fifteen proto-
oncogene proteins, that characterize their common biological activity, i.
Although the researchers still employ viruses harmful to the human body, generating iPS cells without using an
oncogene marks a step forward in the practical use of regenerative medicine to fix damaged tissue.
In the majority of cases,
oncogene expression triggers activation of tumor suppressors, resulting in a phenomenon called
oncogene-induced cell senescence (N.
Researchers also discovered a surprisingly large number of instances in which the same set of mutations occurred within tumor cells, suggesting that
oncogenes often worked in partnership.
Geneticist Dr Pier Paolo Pandolfi, from the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Centre in New York, who led the research team, said, 'There are a number of genes that can cause cancer, the so-called
oncogenes, but Pokemon is unique in that it is needed for other
oncogenes to cause cancer.
Through this alliance with Avalon, Aventis hopes to generate innovative drugs targeting amplified
oncogenes, a promising class of cancer drug targets.
Founded in 1991, Tularik has been involved in the discovery of
oncogenes as they are invaluable targets for anti-cancer drugs.
AVEO has already used directed complementation technology to produce model tumors driven by more than 50 different
oncogenes.
17 September 2014 - South Korean PNA (Peptide Nucleic Acid) oligomer manufacturer Panagene Inc said yesterday it had developed four commercial ctDNA test kits able to identify mutated
oncogene through blood test alone.
Vakoc's team discovered an enhancer element that controls the Myc
oncogene specifically in leukemia cells.
