Meiosis-associated proteins have never been explored in the context of cancer research as their expression is thought to be tightly controlled and restricted to meiotic cells. We have recently discovered that, contrary to accepted knowledge, a group of meiotic proteins is expressed in a variety of human cancer models. Our work focuses on validating these meiosis-associated proteins as biomarkers in cancer stratification and determining their role in cancer progression.
