Bella rip Charlotte’s Web on dvd A team of British and American researchers from Duke University and Cancer Research UK has released a study of mice with lung cancer that produced some interesting results. They found that a set of stem cells within lungs may be what triggers lung cancer.
By injecting mice with green fluorescent protein-tagged cells, the scientists were able to look at images of their lungs. It seems that after severe lung damage, stem cells in the lungs would activate to repair as much of the lungs as possible. In some cases however, the stem cells would create identical cells, spurring an uncontrollable growth inside the lungs. The stem cells appear to activate growth only after damage to the lungs, which fits perfectly with statistics that show an increase in lung cancer occurrences within cigarette smokers and people with chronic diseases.
The Machine Girl divx This finding is significant because it can help researchers fill in the gaps that existed in our understanding of the development of cancer. This was an international effort that involved funding and support from the National Institutes of Health, Cancer Research UK, the University of Cambridge, Hutchinson Whampoa and the Duke University Department of Medicine.
