The study identifying that methylation of microRNA may be a new powerful biomarker for cancer; were individuals with early pancreatic cancer from healthy controls, representing a promising new metric in cancer diagnosis. Levels of molecules associated with genetic function, such as microRNA, can be an important indicator of abnormal activity associated with cancer. However, little…
Scientists have found that spending two hours a week in nature linked to better health and well-being. It’s maybe not entirely surprising then that some patients are increasingly being prescribed time in nature; and community gardening projects as part of “green prescriptions” by the NHS.
