متن کاملProject : Comprehensive identification of therapeutic targets in meningioma
Background and significance Despite a few recent successes human cancers, we still lack a comprehensive knowledge of the number and identity of genes whose activity is essential for the transforming events and maintenance of human cancers. This is particularly true in meningioma. Like other solid tumors, meningiomas develop through an accumulation of genetic mutations, facilitated by genetic in...
متن کاملNarrowing the focus: a toolkit to systematically connect oncogenic signaling pathways with cancer phenotypes
Functional genomics approaches such as gain- and loss-of-function screening can efficiently reveal genes that control cancer cell growth, survival, signal transduction, and drug resistance, but distilling the results of large-scale screens into actionable therapeutic strategies is challenging given our incomplete understanding of the functions of many genes. Research over several decades, inclu...
