'Master'
Proto-Oncogene Regulates Stress-Induced Ovarian Cancer Metastasis
Scientists
at The University
of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center
have discovered the signaling pathway whereby a master regulator of cancer cell
proteins -- known as Src -- leads to ovarian cancer progression when exposed to

Le risque de cancer augmente près
des usines de déchets électroniques
Les
appareils électroniques agrémentent notre quotidien puis s’en vont dans les
pays en développement pour y être incinérés. Leur combustion libère des
hydrocarbures aromatiques polycycliques (HAP) cancérigènes. En Chine, le risque
de cancer du poumon est 1,6 fois plus important pour les habitants proches des
usines de traitement que pour les habitants des villes, pourtant plus polluées,
mais par d’autres industries.
