Multi-omics analysis uncovers molecular drivers of non-viral liver cancer development

by

Researchers discover that inflammation and aging contribute to non-viral liver cancer development. Green tea’s role in reversing some of the pathway dysregulation that may contribute to the cancer development and other therapies explored.  Liver cancer can arise spontaneously from healthy liver tissue. Recently, however, researchers have discovered an increasing correlation between some liver cancers and … Read more
