• Dr Toretsky and Colleagues on the Oncogenic fusion protein EWS-FLI1

  Dr Toretsky and colleagues have recently shown that EWS-FLI1, the fusion protein responsible for Ewing sarcoma, causes dramatic alterations in the mRNA splicing of many genes that have been implicated in oncogenesis. This study highlights altered RNA splicing as an important and understudied pro-oncogenic mechanism that differentiates tumor cells from normal cells and may provide opportunities for novel therapeutic strategies.
