Can Cancer Cells be Starved to Death?

Tumors need to devour enough nutrients to power their uncontrolled growth. For decades, researchers have been trying to develop new drugs that can cut off their "food" supply. A study published on November 8 showed that an upgraded version of a failed anticancer drug can not only prevent tumor cells from taking up an essential nutrient, but also stimulate immune cells to attack the growth of tumor cells. "This discovery is very encouraging." Ralph DeBerardinis, a cancer biologist at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, said, "You can get rid of tumor cells with just one drug and at the same time boosting immune cells." Tumor cells need nutrients in order to acquire molecules that are essential for survival and replication, but their overeating also turns the surrounding environment into an acidic, hypoxic "ditch" that prevents immune cells from destroying these tumor cells. An amino acid called glutamine is a nutr...

I f you compare laptops and desktops, they are two types of designs of the same product - personal computers. However, in the past few years, we have seen the market share of desktops dropped drastically, and the usage of laptops has increased. This is all because of a simple concept called product design. Definition: Product design is vital in an organization or for brands, as it differentiates itself from others. You will always differentiate between a Levis and Killer jeans. Or maybe Arrow shirts are different than Van Heusen. This is because the designs and make is different. It is the way you arrange the features and benefits of the product presented to the customer. Sometimes, the design is also a benefit. When people were listening to Boom Box, Sony launched the Walkman, and it was a hit. The design involved different technology which created the distinction between the two products. Later, Apple tweaked the concept and introduced iPods which consumed maxim...
