Stopping ovarian cancer by blocking proteins coded by notorious gene
Ovarian cancer cells are "addicted" to a family of proteins produced by the notorious oncogene, MYC, and blocking these Myc proteins halts cell proliferation in the deadliest cancer of the female reproductive system, according to a presentation by University of California, Berkeley scientists at t...Stories we tell about national trauma reflect our psychological well-being
