Sixty percent of patients who started smoking again did so within two months of surgery.
At the American Society for Cell Biology’s 2006 conference, researchers will report that applying insulin directly to skin wounds significantly enhanced the healing process. Chronic or nonhealing wounds take an immense toll on American health and on health-care systems.
At the 2006 American Society for Cell Biology conference, scientists will report an increase in tumor frequency in mice with mutations in a cancer-associated gene, called Apc. This finding may contribute to scientific understanding about the epigenetic changes involved in colon cancer.
