MIT scientists have now pinpointed a gene that
appears to drive progression of small cell lung cancer.
Whole-genome profiling
Lung Cancer

The gene, found overexpressed in both mouse and human lung tumors, could lead to new drug targets.
Lung cancer kills about 95 percent
studied the disease's progression using a
strain of mice
Found extra copies of a few short stretches of DNA, including a segment of chromosome 4 that turned out to include a single gene called Nuclear
Factor I/B (NFIB).

ALERT. . . New targets for small cell lung cancer therapy.
The gene encoding the expression of other genes. researchers and scientists are searching for genes controlled
by NFIB to find small cell lung treatment.
These new animal research now provides a breakthrough for science, which discloses new diagnostic methods and treatments that help
exploration in the future to reduce death rates.

In my opinion is important to perform preventive and curative genetic studies to find anomalies that may occur and may cause serious diseases like “cancer”.

Hebrew U. scientists identify molecular
basis for DNA breakage
July 19, 2011

Cancer cells The molecular basis for DNA breakage.
DNA breaks disrupt the proteins and lead to changes in the cell function, These changes can lead to defects
in the control of cellular proliferation . . . Resulting in ??
cancer
![Page 12: Dna structure](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061201/547a6261b4af9f0c208b4633/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Characterization of regions of DNA more susceptible to breakage in the early stages of cancer development.
This is a breakthrough in understanding the DNA sequence and structure of replication and stability.
In these early stages the conditions for DNA
replication are perturbed
Leading to DNA breaks, which occur
specifically in regions defined as . .
Fragile sites

. . . THE RESULTS !!!
The study revealed the molecular mechanism that promotes cancer development.
The study also helped identify the events that lead to cancer and its inhibition.
New therapeutic approaches to restrain
and treat cancer.

OBSERVATION
It is important to know all the original structure of the DNA to see if there are a few different regions, as there may be changes
that lead to defects in the control of cell proliferation that results "cancer." these
changes may be the molecular basis of DNA.

MEDICAL UTILITY
Through studies of the structure of DNA in animals diseases like small cell lung cancer, one of the most deadly today, have been discovered.

MEDICAL UTILITY
knowing the agents that cause cancer, science helps find and make new strategies and treatments to help reduce the risk of death of patients. This way, the future will have a better life.
