Genes Linked to Leukemia Discovered
Scientists have recently discovered several genes that may be responsible for the development of leukemia among patients, or at least increase the identification of those predisposed to the condition.
According to research published in an issue of the New Scientist, there may be eight genes that will determine if an individual develops leukemia. The study was completed at Washington University in St. Louis by a team of researchers who used “developed sequencing methods to look at the entire genome of cells from an acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) tumor and from the patient’s skin, which helped narrow down and identify 10 varying genes between the tissues.”
What Kind of Diet Can Prevent Emphysema?
There is still no cure for emphysema; however, a healthy diet may play an important role in preventing the condition from occurring. Moreover, a change in diet can be a highly effective treatment when combined with nutritional supplements and vitamins.
