oncogene

At least 40 oncogenes have been discovered in recent years.

Some people have cancer run in their family too through genes called oncogenes.

Oncogenes are believed to make people more susceptible to cancer.

An oncogene is a gene that has the potential to cause cancer.

These effects are not readily explained by the action of oncogenes known today.

Such genes are in a sense the opposite of oncogenes, which cause cancer.

"Is that clear, how we can have activation of oncogenes?"

Second, mutations can appear later in life and cause cancer, as an oncogene.

The evidence of the oncogene research shows how both situations can reflect problems with the same gene.

Another oncogene may be an abnormal form of a growth factor gene itself.

Specialists have demonstrated that there are two types of oncogenes.

But human oncogenes comprise a new field of science.

While many new oncogenes have been found in recent years, scientists are still able to see only bits of that great puzzle.

"Oncogenes are necessary genes that can also be provoked to cause cancer."

It contains an oncogene coding for a protein called Tax.

Many of these viral oncogenes have been discovered and identified to cause cancer.

Because of this, it can be inserted into oncogenes.

Among the genes considered most critical to controlling cell growth are the oncogenes.

His laboratory constructed a series of oncogenes that could be switched on and off at will.

Ultimately our own altered genes are doing the damage; they become the oncogenes.

Scan then turned his attention to the other wells where he would be searching for the presence of oncogenes.

In many cases the oncogenes have been found to short-circuit the natural life processes of cells.

The genes that contribute to cancer are called oncogenes.

Since the 1970s, dozens of oncogenes have been identified in human cancer.

However, the need to transform these cells with an oncogene may prevent the use of this approach in therapy.
