Novel Mechanism in Childhood Kidney Cancer
To execute their respective manuals, cells employ "chromatin reader" proteins that identify which gene is up for expression. Now a new study has found that an issue in this gene-regulatory process may cause normal cells to turn malignant resulting in a Wilms' tumor, the most common kidney cancer in children.
