(ANSA) - Rome, April 23 - Around a third of cancers may be
caused by cells dividing badly, according to a new Italian study
that found a new role of the Aurora B protein that proves to be
crucial for cells to complete division.
The team led by Silvia Soddu of the Regina Elena Hospital and
Cinzia Rinaldo of IBPM-Cnr, published in Oncogene, "opens a new
chapter on understanding the causes of many tumours," the study
said.
