三个大的实验室的科学家们现已分离出可使健康细胞癌变的特种基因团。这对认识癌症可能是一个大的进展。由长岛冷泉港研究所、马萨诸塞州工学研究所和波士顿西德尼·弗伯癌症研究所分别取得的这项进展,最终可能导致对单独的癌基因团的甄别过程。尽管科学家们强调任何这种实验还需几年后才行。 Scientists at three large laboratories have now isolated specific gene clusters that can make cancer cells cancerous. This understanding of cancer may be a big step forward. The progress made by the Cold Island Institute in Long Island, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the Sidney Ferber Cancer Institute in Boston, respectively, may eventually lead to the screening of oncogenes alone. Although scientists emphasized that any such experiment will take only a few years to come.
