A new study has explained how DNA silencing can promote cancer.
Most Recent Cancer Research Discovery Could Lead to Novel Treatments for a Variety of Cancers
Scientists have discovered that the overproduction of a key protein in stem cells causes those stem cells to form cancerous tumors.

In new research, Rudolf Jaenisch and colleagues, at the Whitehead Institute in Cambridge, Massachusetts, investigated DNA methylation in a mouse model of colon cancer.
They found that a DNA methylating enzyme, Dnmt3b, targeted specific genes for silencing, and that these genes were similar to those silenced in human tumors. In addition, the researchers believe that their results show that aberrant DNA methylation may be one of the initiating events in the development of cancer.
Cancer Research Indicates That The Disease Causes Loss of Protein That Hooks Skin Cells Together
