Cancer stem
cells, which fuel the growth
of fatal tumours, can be knocked
out by a one - two combination
of antibiotics and Vitamin C in a new experimental strategy, published by researchers at the University
of Salford, UK.
«We now know what genes were gained by enterococci hundreds
of millions
of years ago, when they became resistant to drying
out, and to disinfectants and
antibiotics that attack their
cell walls,» study leader Michael S. Gilmore, a senior scientist at Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary and director
of the Harvard Infectious Disease Institute, said in the statement.
