New ovarian cancer targets proposed: Proteins called TAFs

Proteins called TAFs were once thought to be generic cogs in the machinery of gene expression, but in a new study, scientists propose that they may be important suspects in the progression of ovarian cancer that should not continue to be overlooked. Scientists need such new leads in their investigation of ovarian cancer, the most deadly reproductive cancer. Mortality has remained tragically steady since the last major therapeutic breakthrough came in the 1990s. Pursuing the evidence that these proteins may be involved could allow researchers to make new progress.img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/top_news/top_health/~4/mARJAOBwuHk" height="1" width="1"/
