Scientists make breakthrough for ‘next generation’ cancer treatment

UEA scientists make breakthrough for ‘next generation’ cancer treatment: Scientists at the University of East Anglia are a step closer to creating a new generation of light-activated cancer treatments. The futuristic sounding treatment would work by switching on LED lights embedded close to a tumour, which would then activate biotherapeutic drugs. These new treatments would […]

Drop in insulin resistance in mid-adolescence protects against worsening arterial stiffness

Natural drop in insulin resistance in mid-adolescence protects against worsening arterial stiffness if sustained: Significant physiologic decrease in insulin resistance during mid-adolescence may stop and reverse arterial stiffness progression, a paper published in the American Journal of Physiology-Endocrinology and Metabolism concludes. The study was conducted in collaboration between Baylor College of Medicine in the United […]
