Always monitorContinue reading “Adverse effects of smoking to liver cells, death from liver to bladder cancer”
Rapamycin as immunosuppressive agent
mTOR signaling pathway in human cancer Signaling pathway of mTOR Many human tumors occur because of dysregulation of mTOR signaling, and can confer higher susceptibility to inhibitors of mTOR.[17] Deregulations of multiple elements of the mTOR pathway, like PI3K amplification/mutation, PTEN loss of function, AKT overexpression, and S6K1, 4EBP1, and eIF4E overexpression have been related to many types of cancers. Therefore, mTOR isContinue reading ” Rapamycin as immunosuppressive agent”
Protective role of vegetables and body weight control in esophageal adenocarcinomas
Background: In the 2007 World Cancer Research Fund/American Institute for Cancer Research Second Expert Report, the expert panel judged that there was strong evidence that alcoholic drinks and body fatness increased esophageal cancer risk, whereas fruits and vegetables probably decreased its risk. The judgments were mainly based on case-control studies. As part of the Continuous UpdateContinue reading “Protective role of vegetables and body weight control in esophageal adenocarcinomas”
Lung disease and Lung Cancer, natural supplements and alternative ways to have healthy pulmonary function
Lung disease and Lung Cancer, natural supplements and alternative ways to have healthy pulmonary function by Ray Sahelian, M.D. Genetics may make people susceptible to certain lung diseases such as lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and reduced lung function.

Tumor spread along nerves, adenocarcinoma , and Macrophages
Tumor spread along nerves, a phenomenon known as perineurial invasion, is common in various cancers including pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Neural invasion is associated with poor outcome, yet its mechanism remains unclear. Using the transgenic Pdx-1-Cre/KrasG12D /p53R172H (KPC) mouse model, we investigated the mechanism of neural invasion in PDAC. To detect tissue-specific factors that influenceContinue reading “Tumor spread along nerves, adenocarcinoma , and Macrophages”

Iron: The Double-Edged Sword
Iron: The Double-Edged Sword Iron encourages the formation of cancer-causing free radicals. Of course, the body needs a certain amount of iron for healthy blood cells. But beyond this rather small amount, iron becomes a dangerous substance, acting as a catalyst for the formation of free radicals. Because of this, research studies have shown thatContinue reading “Iron: The Double-Edged Sword”
Why are cancers treated by origin (ex: lung, breast, brain, etc.) instead of by mutation or signaling pathways?
Why are cancers treated by origin (ex: lung, breast, brain, etc.) instead of by mutation or signaling pathways? Connie b.
