Proteins - part of R-spondin family cause the development of some forms of colon cancer, say researchers. Now, University of Minnesota researchers have discovered that when two types of R-spondins - RSPO2 and RSPO 3 - are reactivated in adults through certain gene mutations, they can signal cells to restart the cell proliferation process, which can lead to tumor growth in the colon. The discovery, which involved multiple researchers from the University's ...Tuesday, 28 August 2012
New Genetic Markers Could Signal Colon Cancer Development
