- 在瘤学瘤学.
- 分子生物学分子生物学
- 遗传学 是一个遗传学.
背景情况:
- 三阴性乳腺癌 (TNBC) 是一种具有有限治疗点的侵袭性亚型.
- 识别新型分子驱动因素对于开发TNBC有效治疗至关重要.
研究的目的:
- 为了确定参与TNBC形成的候选驱动基因.
- 阐明TNBC发展背后的分子机制,并确定潜在的治疗点.
主要方法:

Targeted Cancer Therapies
8.6K
The targeted cancer therapies, also known as “molecular targeted therapies,” take advantage of the molecular and genetic differences between the cancer cells and the normal cells. It needs a thorough understanding of the cancer cells to develop drugs that can target specific molecular aspects that drive the growth, progression, and spread of cancer cells without affecting the growth and survival of other normal cells in the body.

Mitogens and the Cell Cycle
7.7K
Mitogens and their receptors play a crucial role in controlling the progression of the cell cycle. However, the loss of mitogenic control over cell division leads to tumor formation. Therefore, mitogens and mitogen receptors play an important role in cancer research. For instance, the epidermal growth factor (EGF) - a type of mitogen and its transmembrane receptor (EGFR), decides the fate of the cell's proliferation. When EGF binds to EGFR, a member of the ErbB family of tyrosine kinase...
