• Researchers identify molecular mechanism behind cancer-promoting gene H-RasV12 in aggressive cancer cells

  Scientists at the University of Birmingham have described a previously-unknown molecular mechanism that could lead to the genetic mutations seen in certain types of aggressive cancer cells, involving a cell’s own transcription machinery. Genetic mutations are fundamental to the spread of cancer cells that form malignant tumours in the body. They are often caused by…
