Tracing a Regulatory Failure from Mutated Gene to Unchecked Cell Division
Captions available
The idea
This capstone traces how a single mutation in a proto-oncogene or a tumor suppressor gene can lead, mechanistically, to unchecked cell division.
Where people slip
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.
