Journal ArticleDOI

Comparative biology of mouse versus human cells: modelling human cancer in mice

TL;DR: There are fundamental differences in how the process of tumorigenesis occurs in mice and humans, and these differences affect the use of mice as models of human tumour pathogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Species- and cell type-specific requirements for cellular transformation.

TL;DR: It is determined that perturbation of two signaling pathways-involving p53 and Raf-suffices for the tumorigenic conversion of normal murine fibroblasts, while perturbations of six pathways- involvingp53, pRb, PP2A, telomerase, Raf, and Ral-GEFs-is needed for human fibro Blasts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ras modulates Myc activity to repress thrombospondin-1 expression and increase tumor angiogenesis.

TL;DR: A novel mechanism by which the cooperative activity of the oncogenes, ras and myc, leads directly to angiogenesis and tumor formation is described.
