A University of Texas at Dallas chemist and his colleagues have developed a novel chemical reaction that will allow scientists to selectively synthesize left-handed or right-handed versions of naturally occurring “mirror molecules” and evaluate them for potential exploit in the fight against cancer and infections, depression, inflammation and much more. other diseases. The results are […]
Quitting smoking offers a number of health benefits, from reduced risk of cancer and stroke to increased life expectancy. But is it ever too delayed to give up? Modern research suggests that even at age 75, quitting smoking can still enhance your life expectancy. “Over the last decade, we have seen a remarkable decline in […]
