New UP paper shows how tiny RNAs fine-tune switch critical in cancer development
The restriction point (R) marks a switch in G1 from growth factor-dependent to growth factor-independent progression of the cell cycle. This switch must be properly regulated, otherwise it can upset normal cell processes and result in diseases such cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, stroke and myocardial infarction. In the paper “MicroRNA inhibition fine-tunes and provides robustness to the restriction point switch of the cell cycle,” Dr. Ricardo del Rosario of the Stanley Center for Psychiatric Research at Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, Joseph Ray Clarence Damasco of the Institute of Mathematics at UP Diliman and Dr. Baltazar Aguda of the UP […]
