In a study made possible by the sequencing of the human genome, scientists at the University of Illinois at Chicago have identified 57 genes involved in the growth of human tumor cells. Some of these genes appear to be linked with the growth of cancerous cells only -- not healthy cells -- making them possible targets for new drugs that could halt the spread of disease without necessarily compromising normal processes.
