• MicroRNAs and cancer: short RNAs go a long way.

  MicroRNAs (miRNAs) may be important regulators of gene expression. By modulating oncogenic and tumor suppressor pathways they could, in principle, con…

• Requirement for NF-kappaB signalling in a mouse model of lung adenocarcinoma.

  NF-kappaB transcription factors function as crucial regulators of inflammatory and immune responses as well as of cell survival. They have also been i…

• Impaired microRNA processing enhances cellular transformation and tumorigenesis.

  MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a new class of small noncoding RNAs that post-transcriptionally regulate the expression of target mRNA transcripts. Many of the…

• Restoration of p53 function leads to tumour regression in vivo.

  Tumorigenesis is a multi-step process that requires activation of oncogenes and inactivation of tumour suppressor genes. Mouse models of human cancers…

• Context-dependent transformation of adult pancreatic cells by oncogenic K-Ras.

  Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the most lethal human malignancies. To investigate the cellular origin(s) of this cancer, we determi…

• Dicer1 functions as a haploinsufficient tumor suppressor.

  While the global down-regulation of microRNAs (miRNAs) is a common feature of human tumors, its genetic basis is largely undefined. To explore this qu…

• Differential effects of oncogenic K-Ras and N-Ras on proliferation, differentiation and tumor progression in the colon.

  Kras is commonly mutated in colon cancers, but mutations in Nras are rare. We have used genetically engineered mice to determine whether and how these…

• Targeted deletion reveals essential and overlapping functions of the miR-17 through 92 family of miRNA clusters.

  miR-17 approximately 92, miR-106b approximately 25, and miR-106a approximately 363 belong to a family of highly conserved miRNA clusters. Amplificatio…

• A functional switch from lung cancer resistance to susceptibility at the Pas1 locus in Kras2LA2 mice.

  Pulmonary adenoma susceptibility 1 (Pas1) is the major mouse lung cancer susceptibility locus on chromosome 6 (ref. 1). Kras2 is a common target of so…
