C-Myc Gene Essential for Immune System Function

... study. ‘By analyzing genetically engineered mouse models with reduced c-myc, reduced IL-15 or absent IL-15, we discovered that it's actually c-myc, which is known primarily as an oncogene, that acts downstream of the IL-15 signaling pathway to regulate T memory cell homeostasis.’ According to Dr. MacDona...

Routine Dental Check-Ups Should Include Oral Cancer Screening

...sts in the United States may not be the same. The models suggest screening people ages 40 to 70 may be more cost-effective than screening older patients. Screening by doctors was only slightly more expensive than screening by dentists, despite the doctors’ lack of specific training to identify oral lesions...
