Graduate student Megan Radyk and Jason Mills, MD, PhD, led a study revealing that although many cancer therapies target rapidly dividing stem cells, mature cells also seem to play a key role in initiating cancer, at least in
forming precancerous lesions.
This past Thursday marked the one - year anniversary of The Curious Case of Campbell's Rats, wherein we took a wild ride through over two decades of animal research in which Dr. T. Colin Campbell of China Study fame showed that dietary protein, whether it comes from animals or plants, protects against aflatoxin toxicity and the initiation of new
precancerous lesions while simultaneously promoting the growth of
precancerous lesions that have already
formed.
