Abstract:
1. The research into the development of common basic technologies for cancer research was carried out by national institutes, universities and private research facilities through the use of the Special Coordination Funds for Promoting Science and Technology. 2. The research included both basic cancer researches and applied technologies for clinical oncology. 3. The research proved successful fruits as follows; Development of technologies for the gene transduction and the gene expression Development of searching methods of oncogenes Development of technologies for the extract and the refinement of tumor specific proteins Production of the DNA sequencer, the ultramicroanalyser of amino acids, the automatic monoclonal antibody producing cell sorter.

What is Cancer?
Although people have known about cancer for centuries, it was only in 1761 that Giovanni Morgagni of Padua performed a detailed autopsy of patients who died from...
Cancer-Critical Genes I: Proto-oncogenes
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.
