Moderation brings about the benefits of alcohol: low to moderate drinking of red wine reduces all causes of mortality, while too much drinking causes multiple organ damage. A new study found out that red wine compound resveratrol demonstrates significant health... (Continue reading)

MicroRNA replacement provides an effective therapy in cancer

Written on 30 Jun, 2009 at 21:16 in Brain Tumor, Cancer, Colon Cancer, Lung Cancer, Lymphoma | viewed 30,339 times | 0 Comments

Researchers from Johns Hopkins and Nationwide Children have discovered a potential strategy for cancer therapy by focusing on what’s missing in tumors. MicroRNAs control gene expression and are commonly lost in cancerous tumors. Noticing this absence, scientists have shown that the... (Continue reading)
