Movie Smoking Is The Prime Triggering Factor For Adolescents
A study in the US shows that exposure to on-screen smoking through popular films is a primary factor in determining whether young people will take up the habit//. The first study of its kind by researchers from the Dartmouth Medical School (DMS) and Norris Cotton Cancer Centre (NCCC) appeared in the latest issue of the journal Pediatrics. The research suggests that exposure...Scientists Discover Prostate Cancer Triggering Molecule
Researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have discovered a molecule that triggers aggressive prostate tumors. The molecule//, labeled as Ack1is a part of the tyrosine kinase gene family and triggers aggressiveness in prostate tumors by messing up with their signals and directing cells to dump a tumor-suppressor protein. This protein usually fights cancer growth by s...Protein's Role in Triggering Cancer Identified
The process by which a specific cell protein trigger the spread of cancer has been identified by Edinburgh scientists.// The study by researchers in the Cell Signalling Unit, University of Edinburgh Cancer Research Centre could pave the way for new drugs which limit the protein's ability to turn a normal cell cancerous. The protein, MDM2, normally functions to control the acti...
