Scientists See Potential in Cellular 'Death by Iron' for Cancer Treatment
This form of cell death is called ferroptosis, and certain cancer cells are especially vulnerable to it.
Novel Regulation of the Common Tumor Suppressor PTEN
Researchers led by scientists at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center have now identified fundamentally novel regulatory mechanisms of <i>PTEN</i> function. The findings from two related studies are published in the January 12 issue of <i>Cell</i>.
