Gene Therapy for Metastatic Melanoma in Mice Produces Complete Remission

Cancer researchers report a potent anti-tumor gene introduced into mice with metastatic melanoma has resulted in permanent immune reconfiguration and produced a complete remission of their cancer, according to an article to be published in the December 2010 issue of the Journal of Clinical Investigation. ... > full story

Central Dogma




Transcription of DNA to RNA to protein: This dogma forms the backbone of molecular biology and is represented by four major stages.
The DNA replicates its information in a process that involves many enzymes: replication.
The DNA codes for the production of messenger RNA (mRNA) during transcription.
In eucaryotic cells, the mRNA is processed (essentially by splicing) and migrates from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. 4. Messenger RNA carries coded information to ribosomes. The ribosomes "read" this information and use it for protein synthesis. This process is called translation.
Proteins do not code for the production of protein, RNA or DNA.
They are involved in almost all biological activities, structural or enzymatic.
