AI Summary
The content provided discusses research findings that suggest the activation of the MYC gene is a common driver of prostate cancer progression. The study tracked changes in prostate cancer cells over time and identified that MYC gene activation triggers a cascade of events that contribute to the initiation and advancement of the disease. This research sheds light on the molecular mechanisms underlying prostate cancer development and could potentially lead to new targeted therapies for the disease.
By tracking the changes in prostate cancer cells over time, researchers have found that activation of the MYC gene — a well-known cancer-causing gene — sets off a cascade of events that leads to both initiation and progression of the disease.
