来自于美国芝加哥伊利诺斯大学(UIC)的研究人员发现,当一种被称作 Foxmlb 的基因从实验小鼠的肝细胞中被敲除时,动物体内的肿瘤就不再生长了;即使是研究人员采用一种标准的实验室技术以试图人工诱发肿瘤的形成,但实验小鼠仍保持一种无肿瘤状态。芝加哥伊利诺斯大学医学院生化和分子遗传学教授、该项研究的主要负责人 Robert Costa 报 Researchers from the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) in the United States found that when a gene called Foxmlb was knocked out of the liver cells of experimental mice, tumors in the animal no longer grew; even if it was The researchers used a standard laboratory technique in an attempt to artificially induce tumor formation, but the experimental mice remained a tumor-free condition.
