Research into tumour suppressor genes (anti- oncogenes). Professors Pierre & Evelyne May,of the French CNRS molecular oncology unit at Villejuif. The Mays are long-time researchers of p53,a protein discovered (in 1978) in cancer cells that was believed to boost their chaotic growth process. Subsequent research revealed that this particular p53 was abnormal,the product of a mutant gene (a corrupt set of genetic instructions) & that normal p53 serves to stop cells from becoming cancerous. It is also believed to prevent some potentially cancerous cells from dividing,& so prevent tumour formation | |
