Abstract
The invention relates to oligonucleotides from the untranslated regions of housekeeping genes, and methods and compositions for modulating cell growth using same. Specifically it relates to the use of the untranslated regions (UTR) from housekeeping genes specifically the R1 and R2 components of ribonucleotide reductase UTR, for inhibiting tumor cell growth.
