“Knowledge advances as much through negative results and thwarted hypotheses as it does by theories that prove to be correct.”
― p53: The Gene that Cracked the Cancer Code
― p53: The Gene that Cracked the Cancer Code
“The research community became fixated on an ‘accelerator’ model of cancer – one in which the normal mechanism of cell division is being actively reprogrammed by these ‘rogue’ genes, the oncogenes, to go into overdrive, thus causing the cells to proliferate wildly. This was the mindset at the time p53 was discovered in 1979.”
― p53: The Gene that Cracked the Cancer Code
― p53: The Gene that Cracked the Cancer Code
“The ‘re-embryonisation of cancer cells’ was an attractive concept because of the obvious behavioural similarities between the two cell types, embryonic and cancer, and the hunt was on in a number of labs to identify proteins that were present in both normal embryo cells and tumour cells, but not in healthy, fully developed adult cells.”
