Potent New Drug Kills Tumor Cells In Mice By Clogging Up Their Recycling System
May 10, 2012
All cells have the ability to recycle unwanted or damaged proteins and reuse the building blocks as food. But cancer cells have ramped up the system, called autophagy, and rely on it to escape damage in the face of chemotherapy and other treatments... Read More
