Reactivating a critical gene lost in kidney cancer reduces tumor growth
Researchers at Mayo Clinic Jacksonville, have found that a key gene is often "silenced" in clear cell renal cell carcinoma, the most common type of kidney cancer, and when they restored that gene in human kidney cancer cells in culture and animal experiments, tumors stopped growing and many disappeared.
