Expression of oncogenes in otherwise normal cells often leads to the activation of anti-oncogenic pathways through a poorly understood process described as 'oncogenic stress'. A new study implicates the Jnk pathway signaling in the activation of p53 in response to both K-Ras and Neu oncogene expression.
