Scientists Trace A Novel Way Cells Are Disrupted In Cancer
Date: 9.10.2008
A research team at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) is clarifying a previously unappreciated way that cellular processes are disrupted in cancer.
Last year, scientists from the same CHSL team discovered that a “splicing factor” called SF2/ASF--a protein that changes the instructions for how other proteins are assembled--can induce tumors in cell cultures. The team’s newly published results show that, in ways not yet fully understood, this same splicing factor acts on a group of other molecules that has long been known to affect cancer.
