Despite significant advances, our mechanistic understanding of how specific cancer-causing genes transform cells is still limited. In a paper published in Nature Communications, a team led by Monash BDI's Prof Roger Daly has made fresh insights into this process by applying a global perspective to the role of a particular class of signalling enzyme. Importantly, the approach used can also identify improved therapeutic strategies for cancer.

In a paper published in Nature Communications, researchers have unlocked a key process in all human cells that contributes to diseases like cancer and neurodegenerative diseases as well as ageing. The discovery, led by Monash BDI's Dr Michael Lazarou and Dr Ben Padman, reveals how cells efficiently get rid of cellular junk, which when it accumulates, can trigger death and the health problems associated with getting older.
