Many of the details of this cellular signaling circuitry have been pieced together by bio-researchers and oncologists over the last ten years. The plan of this circuitry provides the key to understanding the cell growth deregulation that creates human cancer. It also allows us to relate growth deregulation to the actions of specific genes. We have moved from a position of substantial ignorance to deep insight. The foundations of an effective program for the prevention and cure for cancer have been well laid.johnshaplinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17618981988062495637noreply@blogger.com
