Cell. Heal Thyself Posted by: rexagraham Video duration: 290 seconds Researchers at the University of California San Diego (UCSD) have described for the first time a web of inter-related responses that cells use to avoid becoming diseased or cancerous after being exposed to a powerful chemical mutagen. The researchers reported their findings in the May 19, 2006, issue of Science magazine. http://www.jacobs school.ucsd.edu/news /news_releases/relea se.sfe?id=541 Related: bioengineering, biology, cancer, dna, engineering, jacobs, mutagen, niehs, pigmentosum, systems, ucsd, xeroderma
