Within its genome, scientists have identified multiple copies of the tumor protein 53 (TP53) and leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) genes, both of which play important roles in tumor suppression, ...
The most well-known mutations are in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, but others, such as TP53, PALB2, and ATM, are also implicated ... These tests analyse the gene expression profile of the tumour to predict ...
Yet, for decades, there has been little evidence to support this idea ... For example, Asian elephants, a species with a notably low cancer prevalence, have over 20 copies of a tumor suppressor gene (TP53) compared to our own lone copy ... Subscribe ... ....
