Researchers reveal kidney cancer's weak link
Feb 20, 2014
A team of researchers at Chalmers University of Technology has found that kidney cancer cells have a quite different metabolism than other types of malignancies. The findings pave the way for new methods of diagnosing kidney cancer at an early stage, a feat that had eluded researchers earlier, and thereby fresh approaches to treatment. Read More
Malaria: 57% of African population live in high-risk infection areas
Feb 20, 2014
