The oncogene is located at the precise point where the fragment of chromosome 8 broke off.
When the investigators looked more closely, they discovered what is known as an oncogene nearby.
Robert Weinberg, a biology professor at MIT's Whitehead Institute who discovered the first human oncogene, has long been critical of therapeutic approaches based on the Warburg .
New details of natural anticancer mechanism uncovered Scientists have identified key triggers of an important cancer-blocking mechanism in cells. Termed “oncogene-induced senescence,” this mechanism can block most cancer types and is commonly experienced when incipient skin cancers turn instead into slow-growing moles.

Scripps Research Institute scientists uncover new details of natural anticancer mechanism ( Scripps Research Institute ) Scientists at The Scripps Research Institute have identified key triggers of an important cancer-blocking mechanism in cells. Termed "oncogene-induced senescence," this mechanism can block most cancer types and is commonly experienced when incipient skin cancers turn instead into slow-growing moles. Tumors that achieve malignancy often do so by defeating or ...

Avram Hershko in Science Daily (press release) Only recently has it been realized that Skp2 is a very important oncogene,Dr. Hershko explained in an e-mail. "Dr. Pagano's new study reveals how Skp2 itself is eliminated. This knowledge may be used in the future to down-regulate...
