Identification of a novel tumor suppressor

(PhysOrg.com) -- Scientists from the Friedrich Miescher Institute for Biomedical Research (FMI), have identified a novel tumor suppressor playing an important role in T-cell lymphoma. The protein kinase NDR1 has so far been implicated in the processes controlling cell death and centrosome duplication. In a recent study published in Science Signaling the FMI scientists show that T-cell lymphomas develop once the protein NDR1 is lost.
