Researchers using a new gene-scanning method have found a potential way to fight cancer by silencing genes that tumors need to stay alive.
They found a previously unknown gene that keeps tumor cells from killing themselves but that does not appear to be needed by normal, healthy cells. A second team found another new genetic process that also appears to be unique to tumors. . . .
