An international research team comprising researchers from Northeast Hill University, Shillong and Indian Statistical Institute has found that eight groups of Khasi from Northeast Asia and neighbouring Garo harbour unique genetic signature. Analysing the genes, the researchers found that the tribal populations provide a genetic continuity between the populations of South and Southeast Asia. The population genetics of the ...

http://dietandcancer.blogspot.com/2006/10/curcumin-halts-breast-cancer.html
Prevention - Better than Cure. Saturday, October 28, 2006. Curcumin Halts Breast Cancer. The research team found that besides stemming the migration of cancer cells, curcumin reduced the toxic effects of paclitaxel (TaxolTM), a commonly prescribed drug for chemotherapy. This drug if used for long time could trigger spread of breast cancer cells. Taxol is currently used as the front-line chemotherapeutic agent in breast cancers, but because the drug frequently induces drug resistance after prolonged use, ...

Prevention - Better than Cure. Sunday, October 29, 2006. Healthy Diet of Mothers Helps Prevent Child Leukaemia. Glutathione, a molecule comprising amino acids, acts as an antioxidant (in other words it prevents oxidative damage to healthy cells). Even carotenoids are a molecule having the same function. Both mop up compounds that have carcinogenic effects. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The New England Journal of Medicine. Healthy Diet of Mothers Helps Prevent Child Leukae.

Prevention - Better than Cure. Tuesday, January 09, 2007. Curry Leaves Could Cure Prostate Cancer. 8220;At 60 hours, mahanine completely abolished Bcl- xL,” says Bhattacharya. Reduction in the levels of Bcl-xL releases cytochrome c, a protein of mitochondria. Cytochrome C activates caspase, an enzyme that further accelerates the death of cancer cells without damaging any neighbouring healthy cells. Prostate cancer has been found to be one of the 10 leading male cancer cases in India. According to the...
