Abstract:
The incidence of cancer is markedly increased in organ transplant patients. A better understanding of underlying mechanisms and the identification of biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis are major challenges. Hope et al. report expansion of regulatory T cells to be associated with the presence and severity of cancer. Although relevant, these results raise several questions.

Cancer-Critical Genes II: Tumor Suppressor Genes
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.
Such genes that act...
