(March 8, 2012 | Daily Mail) New Genetic Tweak Could Make Us ‘Cancer-Free’ And Stay Slim Regardless Of Food Intake — Scientists have made a potential breakthrough against both cancer and obesity after identifying a way of modifying a gene that controls cell growth. Mice given an extra copy of the anti-cancer gene Pten were less prone to weight gain and were more resistant to the disease. The Pten gene is key in controlling cell growth in both mice and humans. Giving mice more than the naturally-recommended amount of Pten appeared to keep them cancer free.
