Study May Show Ways to Fight Cancer
New research into the genes that control cell growth and behaviour has raised hopes of a breakthrough in understanding and tackling cancer.
An international team of scientists including experts from Cancer Research UK and Cambridge University have studied the structure of cells in yeast - with findings that may have implications for humans too.
The experts said it was the first time nearly all the genes required for reproduction of a cell and for a proper cell shape to be formed have been identified for a living organism.
The work, reported in Royal Society journal Open Biology, was carried out in yeast by studying a set of mutant..more
