Increased hepcidin expression: A novel oncogenic signalling mechanism
Historically anaemia, which is associated with colorectal cancer, has been attributed to blood loss. Previous studies have elegantly shown that the anti-microbial peptide hepcidin can also induce anaemia as a consequence of infection and or inflammation. This type of anaemia has been termed anaemi...DMP1 deletion cooperates with oncogenic K-ras in lung cancer
Scientists have identified the transcription factor DMP1 as a pivotal tumor suppressor for both human and mouse lung cancers, especially in carcinomas that exhibit intact Arf-p53 pathways.
