New Oncogene for Brain Cancer

...vival. None of the three genes caused brain cancer formation when delivered alone. The researchers tried a combination of Akt and IGFBP2 and no tumor formed, suggesting that the two genes lie in the same molecular pathway and have a similar effect. For oligodendroglioma, the researchers found that IGFBP2 com...

Insights into Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia

...together, results from these studies indicate that formation of higher-order homotetrameric complexes and recruitment of RXR are essential components of RARA-induced transformation and that RXR is a key member of the PML/RARA-associated oncogenic response that facilitates PML/RARA-induced transformation throug...

Scientists Identified Obesity Control Switch

...b. Further analysis showed that PRDM16 triggered formation of brown fat cells in part by turning on a metabolic pathway controlled by PGC-1alpha, which was discovered in Spiegelman's lab, and the gene UCP1, which allows cells to release large amounts of energy as heat.

Scientists Identify "master Switch" for Brown Fat in Mice

...sis, the researcher observed that PRDM16 triggered formation of brown fat cells in part by turning on a metabolic pathway controlled by PGC-1alpha and the gene UCP1, which allows cells to release large amounts of energy as heat. The researchers believe that engineering cells with PRDM16 may work as obesity p...

Protein Interaction is a Drug Target for Blood Clot Prevention
