What are cancer growth blockers? A cancer growth blocker is a targeted drug that blocks the growth factors that trigger cancer cells to divide and grow. Scientists are looking at different ways of doing this such as: lowering levels of the growth factor in the body blocking the growth factor receptor on the cancer cell blocking the signals inside the cell that start up when the growth factor triggers the receptor Most of these treatments work by blocking the signalling processes that cancer cells use to divide. Cancer cells are often very sensitive to growth factors. So if we can block them, we can stop some types of cancer from growing and dividing. Scientists are developing different inhibitors for the different types of growth factors. It isn't easy to group targeted therapies into different types because the groups often overlap. This can be confusing. For example, some cancer growth blockers stop the growth of blood vessels to the growing cancer. So they are also working as an

Maggi, a seasoning cube invented by Julius Maggi in 1869, was based on his mission of “taste, enjoyment and sound nutrition combined to address the needs of the people”.

Photo google source As we have just seen, cells require a constant supply of energy to generate and maintain the biological order that keeps them alive. This energy is derived from the chemical bond energy in food molecules, which thereby serve as fuel for cells. Sugars are particularly important fuel molecules, and they are oxidized in small steps to carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (Figure 2-69). In this section we trace the major steps in the breakdown, or catabolism, of sugars and show how they produce ATP, NADH, and other activated carrier molecules in animal cells. We concentrate on glucose breakdown, since it dominates energy production in most animal cells. A very similar pathway also operates in plants, fungi, and many bacteria. Other molecules, such as fatty acids and proteins, can also serve as energy sources when they are funneled through appropriate enzymatic pathways. Food Molecules Are Broken Down in Three Stages to Produce ATP The proteins, lipids, and polysaccharides tha

Also the results show that the effect of these extracts against gram positive bacteria is more than two gram negative Bactria. They are a great addition to your homemade mulch for how well they insulate plant roots and, if applied after watering, also help conserve moisture in the soil. Oak leaves also create wonderful environments for beneficial microorganisms as they break down. Health Benefits of oak leaves  Prevents the growth of cancer cells , Did you know that oak leaves can have an anticarcinogenic effect? Basically, it comes from its antioxidant, which can inhibit the free radicals, which can cause the growth of cancer cells. Isn’t that awesome?! Helps treat the gastric ulcer, Oak leaves can help treat the gastric ulcer, through its flavonoid compound. Flavonoid releases its substance and can heal the gas
