Tumorogénesis y proteína mdm2

Tumorogenesis is associated with several events by which a normal cell transforms itself into a tumour cell with an increased proliferation rate. One of the most important research initiatives in this area is the characterization of the molecular mechanisms involved in tumorogenesis and cancer. Onco...
