Researchers have finally solved the mystery of how melanoma forms. Specific biochemical process that can render normal and healthy skin cells into cancerous melanoma cells has been pinpointed. This new found research will play an instrumental role in ascertaining melanoma vulnerability in patients and pave the path to future therapies. According to statistics more than 70 thousand cases of melanoma are registered each year in the United States alone but thanks to the researchers at Oregon State University and their work published in PLoS Genetics supported by national institutes of health the figure can be cut down significantly in the future.
According to a new ground breaking study, the bacteria thriving on the surface of our skin play a huge part in how our wounds heal. This study could play a pivotal role in devising new treatments for chornic wounds which effect 1 in 20 elderly people.
