Researchers Create First Molecule-Blocks Key Component of Cancer Genes' on-Off Switch
ScienceDaily (Sep. 24, 2010) — In the quest to arrest the growth and spread of tumors, there have been many attempts to get cancer genes to ignore their internal instruction manual. In a new study, a team led by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute scientists has created the first molecule able to prevent cancer genes from "hearing" those instructions, stifling the cancer process at its root.
A manual in this case would be a small reference book.
instruction manual - a manual usually accompanying a technical device and explaining how to install or operate it
I thought Manuel was the Mexican border, who lives upstairs.
Thank you both.
But DrewDad's correct.
