Inhibitors of this protein will cause sleepiness, and in human beings, deficiency of this protein may lead to narcolepsy or sleeping ...

Reducing genetic expressions may help breast cancer patients

... of a gene called BRCC36 in cells of breast cancer makes them more responsive to radiation //therapy. The gene BRCA1 is the one that is activated by the radiation process in breast cancer, and expression of BRCC36 inhibits the former protein. Most breast cancer cells have elevated levels of BRCC36 when co...

Ceramide can target and kill cancer cells

...capsules of ceramides called liposomes. Such a way makes it easy for the capsules to move in the blood stream and release the ceramides in the tumor cells. This happens as ceramides are, by nature still unknown to scientists, attracted to tumor cells. The liposome-encased ceramides reaches the tumor cell...
