Scientists tie several cancers to common 'oncogene engine'

...erapies that may be effective against one tumor to try to treat other tumors, said Fisher. "In the longer term, the focus is on targeting the real culprit ?and that is the MiT transcription factors or their targets. There is lots of excitement, and I believe that is the way to really nail these tumors." ...

Biologists find regions of rice domestication
