Scientists Can Now Differentiate Between Healthy Cells And Cancer Cells
January 4, 2009 — One of the current handicaps of cancer treatments is the difficulty of aiming these treatments at destroying malignant cells without killing healthy cells in the process. But a new study has provided ... > full story -
Molecular Marker Identifies Normal Stem Cells As Intestinal Tumor Source
December 17, 2008 — Scientists have answered a central question in cancer biology: Whether normal stem cells can give rise to tumors. Stem cells are immature cells that can renew themselves and give rise to mature ... > full story -
New Anti-Tumor Gene Identified
