Proto-oncogenes regulate cell growth; mutations convert them to oncogenes, leading to cancer by disrupting normal cell division processes.

His early medical research probed the Rous sarcoma retrovirus, a cancer-causing virus that was first observed in birds. Dr.

who showed in 1910 that sarcomas in chickens are caused by a filterable agent (now called Rous sarcoma virus); but because this discovery was for many years rejected by the scientific community, Rous ...

DNA can be duplicated or read to produce RNA, which is translated to generate protein. So ran the 'central dogma' of biology, devised by Francis Crick in 1958 to explain the directional flow of ...

Their current efforts are directed towards understanding the mechanisms associated with the assembly of HIV-1 and Rouse Sarcoma Virus (RSV) IN-DNA complexes and their analyses at atomic-resolution ...

The primary tenure-track faculty, research-track faculty and secondary faculty in the Saint Louis University Department of Molecular Microbiology and Immunology oversee active independent research ...

The transplant apparently does not increase in size, differing in that respect from that of the Rous chicken sarcoma, which increases in size by 2 or 3 diameters in 2 weeks (Shrigley, Greene & ...
