Summary
WSU faculty developed an approach to identify gene-expression changes in spontaneously immortalized human cell lines as compared to non-immortal cells. This approach led to the identification of molecular targets required for the long lifespan spontaneously acquired by cancer cells. These targets may provide a potential means to intervene in the process of aging or cancer development of a series of genes involved.
