Abstract excerpt
Various types of cancers are generated through mutations or dysregulations of oncogenes/tumor suppressor genes involved in cell cycles and signaling transduction pathways. To identify cancer therapeutic targets whose inhibition selectively kills cancer cells, synthetic lethal screening is being developed to identify genes whose intervention suppresses tumor progression only when combined with the dysregulation of...
