Note: in research
"A new gene that normally protects againstovarian
cancer is switched-off in two-thirds of cases of the disease,
reveals a study published in the journal Neoplasia today.
This
'protector gene', known as EPB41L3, is inactivated in 65 per cent of
ovarian cancers.
And reactivating the gene halted tumour growth
and triggered large numbers of the cancer
cells to commit suicide.
The research, co-funded by Cancer
Research UK and gynaecological cancer
research charity
The Eve Appeal, raises the prospect for developing
therapies that mimic or restore the function of the gene to kill ovarian
cancer cells in a targeted way...."
