1- Cancer Biology Research Fellow I was awarded a research grant to study the effects of Calcium release-activated channels (CRAC) on cancer cell growth. After a comprehensive literature review and meetings with Dr. Greenberg, I designed and implemented multiple experiments to examine the survival rate of lymphoma (RAMOS), leukemia (Jurkat), and prostatic cancer cell lines (RWPE-1, LNCaP, PC-3) used a synthetic CRAC inhibitor (YM-58483). I measured the extent of cell proliferation (WST-1 assay) under

major reduction in the ozone layer, because of this the chance of skin cancers like melanoma have increased significantly. It is well known that ultraviolet radiation is a major factor in a person’s risk of being diagnosed with cutaneous melanoma because it is part of the radiation that actually touches Earth’s surface.

For instance, smoking, and poor are considered as a bad lifestyle that cause cancer; moreover, Colon cancer ( colorectal cancer ) is the third

Mrs. Pund English 9 March 27, 2017 Word Count: Pancreatic Cancer: A Complex Disease In 2000, there were 28,300 new cases of pancreatic cancer and 28,000 deaths, making the mortality rate for pancreatic cancer at a high of ninety nine percent. Over the years, researchers have found more about the pancreatic tumor to have to mortality rate to go down. Between 2000 and 2009, the mortality went down by sixteen percent. (Panno) Pancreatic cancer can be rare, hard to treat, and get diagnosed before too

treating various forms of cancer, among which plant extracts are a prime inclusion. To begin with, there are myriad types of cancer, but in this section, breast cancer is the kind on which focus is emphasized. Breast cancer is used to describe the rapid and uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in breast tissue, which are mainly lobules (glands producing milk) and ducts (passages through which milk moves to the nipples) (Nadja et al. 333).
