Coordinated Activation of Candidate Proto-Oncogenes and Cancer Testes Antigens via Promoter Demethylation in Head and Neck Cancer and Lung Cancer [PDF]
Epigenetic alterations have been implicated in the pathogenesis of solid tumors, however, proto-oncogenes activated by promoter demethylation have been sporadically reported.

Novel oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes in hepatocellular carcinoma [PDF]
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a very deadly disease. HCC initiation and progression involve multiple genetic events, including the activation of proto-oncogenes and disruption of the function of specific tumor suppressor genes.

Detection of Mutations in Selected Proto-Oncogenes of Canine Lymphoma
Lymphomas belong among the most frequently diagnosed tumours of the haematopoietic system in dogs. The clinical manifestations and genetic and molecular basis of canine lymphoma resembles those of human non-Hodgkin lymphoma and therefore it can serve as ...

ProtoPred: Advancing Oncological Research Through Identification of Proto-Oncogene Proteins
Proto-oncogenes are the genes that have the potential to transform normal cells into cancer cells as a result of mutations. They usually contain encoding of proteins whose function is to inhibit cell differentiation, stimulate cell division, and prevent ...

Insertional Oncogenesis by Non-Acute Retroviruses: Implications for Gene Therapy
Retroviruses cause cancers in a variety of animals and humans. Research on retroviruses has provided important insights into mechanisms of oncogenesis in humans, including the discovery of viral oncogenes and cellular proto-oncogenes. The subject of this
