(Ohio State University Medical Center) To better understand how cells become cancerous, a new study by Ohio State University cancer researchers looks at four genes that help regulate cell growth in embryos and contribute to cancer in adults.

The genes are generally believed to work together to help control cell proliferation. But this study, published in the journal Nature, shows that mice need just one of the four genes to develop from fertilized eggs through adulthood.
