Cause of emphysema identified "It’s like walking into a crime scene," said Dr. Farrah Kheradmand, professor of medicine [...]

“googleleft”> In their paper published online November 20 in Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, the researchers describe the molecular details of how some cancer drugs work. "Some anticancer pharmaceuticals that we showed to be ineffective made it to clinical trials because they appeared to prevent the EGFR protein from sending growth signals," says Philip A. Cole, M.D., [...]
