Researchers have developed a peptide that targets a protein implicated in 75% of human cancers and found that it slowed the proliferation of cancer cells in the lab. It’s the first step towards ...

Like any protein, MYC is built using the instructions that are stored in the MYC gene. First, in a process called transcription, the cell uses these instructions to make a blueprint, called mRNA.

The growth protein, MYC, was consistently found with RBM42, which spurs MYC production, in human pancreatic tumors. Above, microscopy for MYC (red) and RBM42 (green) in a representative pancreatic ...

Hollow spheres made of MYC proteins open new doors in cancer research. Würzburg scientists have discovered them and report about this breakthrough in the journal "Nature".

However, it remained unclear how important the interaction of MYC and SPT5 proteins is for the behavior of normal cells in the body, and whether it could be utilized to influence the development ...

Elusive cancer-related protein captured in flight Date: November 4, 2019 Source: Linköping University Summary: Scientists have for the first time seen how the MYC protein, which plays a central ...

Myc is a cancer-causing gene responsible for disrupting the normal 24-hour internal rhythm and metabolic pathways in cancer cells. Researchers have found that MYC protein may affect circadian ...

A gene called MYC is implicated in the majority of cancers, but unfortunately it’s often considered “undruggable.” In a new study scientists have developed a molecule that chops up the RNA ...

(Medical Xpress)—A protein called Myc, commonly found at high levels inside cancer cells, fuels the disease by allowing cells to override their in-built self-destruct mechanisms, according to ...
