Tracing a Regulatory Failure from Mutated Gene to Unchecked Cell Division

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

This capstone traces how a single mutation in a proto-oncogene or a tumor suppressor gene can lead, mechanistically, to unchecked cell division.

Watch for

A single mutated proto-oncogene or tumor suppressor gene is a mechanism for how regulation can fail, not itself a claim about any individual's cancer risk or diagnosis.
