Description
When you nick yourself and bleed a bit, your body has a system to stop the bleeding and replace the cells that were damaged--but only the few damaged cells. Your body has an amazing system to 'know' when to make cells, not just to replace damaged cells but all sorts of cells throughout the body. The body also knows when not to make cells; otherwise, we'd all be similar to The Hulk. This system of turning on and turning off cell production is under the control of numerous genes. One of the sets of genes that helps maintain the proper amount of cell division is the RNF (RING-type zinc fingers). In this set are two tumor suppressor genes named BRCA (for breast cancer) 1 and 2.
