Experts agree that daily sunscreen is a must, not only to minimize the emergence of new wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots, but also to help reduce the risk of skin-related cancers, like melanoma (via Skin Cancer Foundation). In addition to SPF, when outdoors, especially in the warmer weather, you might also want to use bug repellent […]

Researchers apply fat cells to deliver drug to suppress tumor growth
Researchers at the UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center have identified a new drug delivery pathway that may help stop tumor growth and keep cancer from coming back in mice. In the preclinical study, the team found that they could reengineer adipocytes—fat cells that feed fatty acids energy needed to promote tumor growth and metastasis—to reverse […]
Researchers apply computing power to track the spread of cancer
Princeton researchers have developed a new computational method that increases the ability to track the spread of cancer cells from one part of the body to another. This migration of cells can lead to metastatic disease, which causes about 90 percent of cancer deaths from solid tumors—masses of cells that grow in organs such as […]
