Researchers have found that the skin cells that are responsible for mending broken skin are sometimes responsible for the formation of skin cancers and psoriasis, a skin disorder that leaves a person with sores or ulcerations that are painful and can spread to the whole body. They also found that the use of healing creams [...]

Liquid Nitrogen, which is one of the coldest substances on earth at a stable temperature of -196 Degrees Celsius is applied to the growth, in effect freezing the cells leaving a lump of frozen tissue that simply falls off as the surrounding [...]

It turns out that there is a specific gene that handles the skin’s response to the Sun’s Ultraviolet rays triggering the tanning process [...]

Researchers in the National Cancer Institute have discovered that a small molecule called nutlin-3A, a cancer suppressor gene has the ability to prevent cancer cells from dividing thus halting the spread of the disease. When cells divide the opportunity for mutation is high and this is what researchers are hoping to overcome with the new [...]
