Cancer Gene Therapy
Research from Imperial College London, Department of Oncology provide new insights into cancer gene therapy
June 2nd, 2009
Scientists discuss in 'Microarray coupled to quantitative RT-PCR analysis of androgen-regulated genes in human LNCaP prostate cancer cells' new findings in cancer gene therapy. According to recent research published in the journal Oncogene, "The androgen receptor (AR) mediates the growth-stimulatory effects of androgens in prostate cancer cells. Identification of androgen-regulated genes in prostate cancer cells is therefore of considerable importance for defining the mechanisms of prostate-cancer development and progression." "Although several studies have used microarrays to identify AR-regulated genes in prostate cancer cell lines and in prostate tumours, we...
