Two Suppressor Molecules Affect 70 Genes In Leukemia

By restoring two small molecules that are often lost in chronic leukemia, researchers were able to block tumor growth in an animal model.The research, using human chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cells, also showed that loss of the two molecules affects 70 genes, most of which are involved in critical functions such as cell growth, death, proliferation and metabolism.
