Suppressing A Leukaemia Suppressor The expression of genes that help to limit the growth of normal cells can sometimes be turned down in cancer, causing cells to divide uncontrollably - hence their branding as 'tumour suppressor' genes. http://hum-molgen.org/NewsGen/01-2008/000026.html - MicroRNAs That Reduce Metastasis Restoring the expression of certain microRNAs (miRNAs) that are lost as breast cancer starts to metastasize suppresses the spread of the cancer http://hum-molgen.org/NewsGen/01-2008/000025.html -
