Cancer: Entangled pathways
René Bernards1
Abstract
A medley of molecules, and the interactions between them, mediate cancer. The latest news is that the enzyme CDK8 orchestrates cross-talk between two signalling pathways that are frequently deregulated in human cancers.
There is no simple answer to the question of which cellular proteins or signalling pathways are responsible for making a cell cancerous. For example, the Wnt signalling pathway, which normally plays a pivotal part in development, is often deregulated by mutation in cancer cells1.
