Researchers reveal therapeutic strategy to kill cancer cell
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
Gene mutations are the cause of cancer. Tumor suppressors and oncogenes are the two main groups of these altered genes in cancer. Mutations in oncogenes can drive cell proliferation, pushing the gas pedal all the way to the floor, whereas mutations in tumour suppressor genes can cause tumour

Research sheds light on therapeutic strategy to kill cancer cells
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
Cancer is a disease driven by gene mutations. These mutated genes in cancer fall into two major categories: tumour suppressors and oncogenes. Mutations in tumour suppressor genes can allow tumours to grow unchecked - a case of no brakes - while mutations in oncogenes can activate cell prolif
