Tumor Suppressor Genes
Tumor Suppressor Genes are a group of important genes that act as a safeguard against cancer. They are responsible for regulating cell growth and preventing cells from growing excessively and inappropriately, which can lead to tumor formation. Tumor Suppressor Genes have been studied extensively and their importance in controlling cancer development is well established. When mutated or otherwise malfunctioning, these genes are associated with various types of cancers. Targeted therapeutic treatments, such as gene therapy, may be used to restore the function of tumor suppressor genes, helping to reduce the risk of cancer in patients.
