Sulforaphane (sometimes sulphoraphane in British English) is a compound within the isothiocyanate group of organosulfur compounds. [1] It is produced when the enzyme myrosinase transforms glucoraphanin, a glucosinolate, into sulforaphane upon damage to the plant (such as from chewing or chopping during food preparation), which allows the two compounds to mix and react.
An Oregon cancer patient was “awake and conscious” when his face caught on fire during surgery — leaving him permanently disfigured, according to his family’s $900,000 lawsuit.
Conventional photodynamic therapy (PDT) uses a non-specific photosensitizer which can be activated by a non-ionizing light to kill cancer cells. Photosensitizers [ broken anchor ] are molecules that rapidly destroy cells though the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) when exposed to light at specific wavelength. [ 5 ]
Cancer cells can also cause defects in the cellular pathways of apoptosis (programmed cell death). As most chemotherapy drugs kill cancer cells in this manner, defective apoptosis allows survival of these cells, making them resistant. Many chemotherapy drugs also cause DNA damage, which can be repaired by enzymes in the cell that carry out DNA ...
A professor with the University of Texas at San Antonio has created a new method to kill cancer cells that are traditionally difficult to eradicate. New cancer treatment method causes cells to ...
(cell death) in non-cancerous cells than in melanoma cells.” The study is a notable addition to a growing body of work suggesting marijuana can do a lot more than get people high. However, there ...
Necrosis (from Ancient Greek νέκρωσις (nékrōsis) 'death') is a form of cell injury which results in the premature death of cells in living tissue by autolysis. [1] The term "necrosis" came about in the mid-19th century and is commonly attributed to German pathologist Rudolf Virchow , who is often regarded as one of the founders of ...
To kill the same number of cancerous cells, neutrons require one third the effective dose as protons. [1] Another advantage is the established ability of neutrons to better treat some cancers, such as salivary gland, adenoid cystic carcinomas and certain types of brain tumors, especially high-grade gliomas [ 2 ]
