-
For example, in cancer that had spread from the pancreas to the lung, Campbell found that a gene called myc had been mutated.
-
Furthermore, leukemic malignancies were forced through integration of fusion-genes that mimic chromosomal alterations, such as myc-IgH

-
It is possible now to produce a stem cell from almost any other human cell instead of using embryos as needed previously, albeit the risk of tumorigenesis due to c-myc and retroviral gene transfer remains to be determined.
-
This man who got this country into so myc debt and other troubles wants the AMericans to give credit to ANYTHING he has to say?
-
The mouse embodied the maturity of cancer genetics: scientists had created real, living tumors not just abstract, etiolated foci in petri dishes by artificially manipulating two genes, ras and myc, in an animal.

Rapid cellular proliferation, or the insensitivity to growth-arresting signals, or tumor angiogenesis, can all largely be explained by aberrantly activated and inactivated pathways such as ras, Rb, or myc in cancer cells.

Even so, as in myc constituency it's simplay Labour or Conservative, I'll vote Conservative.
-
If myc was permanently activated in the embryo, the embryo turned into a ball of overproliferating cells, then involuted and died through unknown mechanisms.
