Newly identified gene pair in colon cancer challenges whole paradigm on causation.

Colon cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide, and researchers are hard at work to understand the disease’s complex molecular underpinnings.  Now, a study from researchers at the University of Pennsylvania has identified two related genes in the Musashi family that are required for colon cancer to develop.  The team state that their findings challenge a paradigm in the field whereby … Continue reading Newly identified gene pair in colon cancer challenges whole paradigm on causation.
