Stopping and Starting Cancer Cell Cycle Weakens and Defeats Multiple Myeloma
New Strategy by Weill Cornell Researchers Wreaks Havoc on Cancer's Central Growth Mechanism
Dr. Chen-Kiang and her laboratory colleagues have long studied genes and proteins that control the cell cycle and cell suicide (apoptosis) in cancer. Cancer is fundamentally a disease of uncontrolled cell proliferation, where cells are able to continuously divide. In contrast, cell division in a healthy individual is regulated by the cell cycle, an orderly sequence of programmed gene expression in which the cell is driven through various checkpoints by a highly regulated network of proteins.

Mark Rubin, MD part of "Dream Team" in Metastatic Prostate Cancer.
"Understanding the mutational landscape of individual tumors will allow us to better manage metastatic prostate cancers like castration-resistant prostate cancer," explains Dr. Mark A. Rubin, the project's principal investigator at Weill Cornell Medical College. The overarching goal of the grant is to eventually "position CRPC as a manageable and treatable disease with personalized medicine."
