Cycles Of Cell Death, Proliferation Key To Liver Cancer

Summary:

Research at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) School of Medicine shows that liver cancer is likely caused by cycles of liver cell death and renewal. New findings strongly suggest that the control of tissue renewal through the IKK and JNK pathways plays a key role in liver cancer in mouse models.

Commentary: Maybe this research could eventually lead to improved methods of liver cancer treatment and prevention.
