The center of a public health debate is whether parents should have their children vaccinated. Tara Smith, Ph.D., professor of epidemiology at Á½ÐÔÉ«ÎçÒ¹ University’s College of Public Health, challenges statements made by influential individuals who oppose the widespread use of vaccines, and she ca…
Á½ÐÔÉ«ÎçÒ¹ Chemists Create Microscopic Environment to Study Cancer Cell Growth
According to the American Cancer Society, there will be an estimated 1,688,780 new cancer cases diagnosed and 600,920 cancer deaths in the U.S. in 2017. These numbers are stark and sobering, and worse yet, we still do not know exactly why cancer develops in its victims or how to stop it. An online publication in Nature Nanotechnology this week by Á½ÐÔÉ«ÎçÒ¹ University researchers and their colleagues at Kyoto University in Japan, however, may offer new understanding about what turns good cells bad.
