Description: Vivek Rangnekar, professor of radiation medicine at the University of Kentucky, is known for discovering a tumor-suppressor gene called “Par-4” in the prostate. Rangnekar and a team of researchers found the Par-4 gene kills cancer cells, but not normal cells. Rangnekar explains more about suppression, and the role of pro-apoptotic tumor suppressors in the inhibition of tumor growth.
