Decreased Breast Cancer Survival Associated With High TRAIL-R2 Express
High expression of TRAIL-R2, a cell surface receptor that triggers cell death, has been shown to be associated with a decrease the survival rates of breast cancer patients according to a study published by Yale Cancer Center researchers in Clinical Cancer Research. Gadget Helps People At Risk Of Dehydration Or Congestive Heart Failure
Researchers are improving the odds for people medically at risk from dehydration or congestive heart failure.
