A Purdue University scientist has discovered a key process in cell growth that can lead to the formation of tumors. Xiaoqi Liu, an assistant professor of biochemistry, found that an overabundance of the polo-like kinase 1, or Plk1, molecule during cell growth, as well as a shortage of the p53 molecule, will lead to tumor formation.
Understanding ubiquitination in cells may help scientists find ways to treat cancer, a U.S. researcher says. Biochemist Xiaoqi Liu of Purdue University says this process is key to cell growth and the formation of tumors.
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind., July 8 (UPI) -- Understanding "ubiquitination" in cells may help scientists find ways to treat cancer, a U.S. researcher says.
Pharmasset, Inc. (Nasdaq: VRUS) announced the nomination of PSI-352938 ("PSI-938") as a lead development candidate from two series of purine analogs for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.
A tightly controlled system of checks and balances ensures that a powerful tumor suppressor called p53 keeps a tight lid on unchecked cell growth but doesn't wreak havoc in healthy cells. In their latest study, scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies suggest just how finely tuned the system is and how little it takes to tip the balance.
