Tumor Suppressor Gene Identified; Deletion Results In Liver Cancer In Mice

Scientists have taken the search for cancer-causing genes an important step forward. They confirm that a gene called DLC1 is a tumor suppressor. They have demonstrated in living mice that its deletion, inactivation or loss precipitates events culminating in an aggressive type of liver cancer closely related to common human epithelial cancers of the liver.
