Researchers from the Biotech Research and Innovation Centre (BRIC) and Center for Healthy Aging, University of Copenhagen, now show that the gene FBH1 helps turn up the effect of chemotherapy. The results are published in the Journal Nature Communications. "Our results show that the gene FBH1 is crucial in order for some chemotherapeutics to become active in the body and kill the cancer cells... via Health News from Medical News Today Read More Here..
