Healthy cells have a built-in process which means they commit suicide if something is wrong, a process which fails in cancer cells. The University of Illinois team created a synthetic molecule which caused cancer cells to self-destruct. Cancer experts said the study, in Nature Chemical Biology, offered "exciting possibilities" for new ways of treating the disease. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/5284850.stm   Shanabana Citizen Username: Shanabana Post Number: 1026 Registered: 10-2005 Posted on Tuesday, August 29, 2006 - 12:30 pm:        Time to start smoking again.   themp Supporter Username: Themp Post Number: 3225 Registered: 12-2001 Posted on Tuesday, August 29, 2006 - 2:09 pm:        Just another way we kick the 18th century's •••.
