Stem cells remain healthy following low-dose X-ray exposure, say biophysicistsBiophysicists have shown that following low-dose exposure to X-rays (at 80 milligrays), stem cells remain healthy, proliferate, and do not accumulate DNA damage to be passed on to their progeny. The paper was published in the journal Aging.
 
 
 Ludwig study elucidates mechanism behind metabolic vulnerability of some breast tumors
 
Ludwig study elucidates mechanism behind metabolic vulnerability of some breast tumorsScientists have known since the 1980s that many cancer cells are relatively sensitive to the deprivation of an essential amino acid known as methionine. It has, however, long been unclear what causes such marked dependency on methionine.
