Scientists have discovered a new  cancer-causing gene that they believe could be a molecular  master switch for the disease.

Patients should beware of so-called stem cell wonder cures as most have not been properly tested, experts say.

San Diego scientists have identified a protein in embryonic stem cells that helps weed out mutations as the cells proliferate. Its action may protect a developing embryo from DNA damage that could lead to cancer later in life.

A gene that helps cells keep their shape also causes pancreatic cancer when mutated and it might provide clues to what causes the lethal disease and how it spreads so fast, researchers said on Monday.
