Too Many Gene Copies Stimulate Tumor Cell Growth, German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) Study

ScienceDaily (Apr. 11, 2008) — New data, generated by Peter Lichter and colleagues, at the German Cancer Research Center, Heidelberg, have characterized a molecular pathway underlying low-grade forms of a type of brain tumor known as an astrocytoma. The authors therefore suggest that therapeutics targeting this pathway might provide a new approach to treating individuals with low-grade atrocytomas.
