    Area of Science:

    • Molecular biology
    • Cellular biology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Normal cells contain proto-oncogenes.
    • Proto-oncogenes are analogous to viral oncogenes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To understand the pathophysiologic mechanisms of carcinogenesis.
    • To dissect normal cell growth processes.
    • To investigate evolutionary controls on cell growth.

    Main Methods:

    • Comparative analysis of cellular and viral oncogenes.
    • Investigation of proto-oncogene function in normal cells.

    Main Results:

    • Proto-oncogenes are present in normal cells.
    • Proto-oncogenes share similarities with viral oncogenes.

    Conclusions:

    • Proto-oncogene discovery offers a pathway to understanding carcinogenesis.
    • Proto-oncogenes are key to dissecting normal cell growth and its regulation.
