Researchers from University of Tokyo, Institute of Medical Science describe findings in cancer gene therapy
May 13th, 2008
Current study results from the report, 'Activation of placenta-specific transcription factor distal-less homeobox 5 predicts clinical outcome in primary lung cancer patients,' have been published. "AND EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: To identify novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets for lung cancers, we screened for genes that were highly transactivated in lung cancers using a cDNA microarray representing 27,648 genes. DLX5 gene, a member of the human distal-less homeobox transcriptional factor family that is expressed during early embryonic development, was found to be overexpressed in the great majority of lung cancers," scientists writing in the journal Clinical Cancer Research...
