(2008-05-21)When prototrophic yeast cells undergo continuous growth in nutrient-limited conditions, they experience robust metabolic oscillations. Additionally, the processes of metabolism in yeast cells have been shown to be coordinated ...
-
(1989)Humans and laboratory animals experience a decline in immune system function and DNA excision repair correlated with increased occurrence of cancer as a function of age. Dietary restriction is reported to be associated ...

(2012-05-09)Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 8 (CDK8) has recently emerged as an oncoprotein that is amplified in both colorectal and melanoma cancers. The importance of CDK8 and its regulatory partner Cyclin C (CycC) is highlighted by the ...
-
Inactivation or mutation of phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN), a tumor suppressor gene, is implicated in unregulated cell proliferation, leading to tumor growth and the development of cancer. Identification of modifier ...
