In recent years, researchers gradually regard mitophagy as the target for cancer treatment, although the role of mitophagy in the developmental and metabolic process of cancer is still not clear. In this experiment, we used C. elegans as a model for mitochondria dysfunction drug treatment to test whether drugs have different…

“The Bitter Pill” starts off with an acrimonious tale of how a man that was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma ended up borrowing from his in-law to pay for his exorbitant cancer treatments. After I picked my jaw from my desk, I started pondering what could the cancer treatment breakdown be that warrants the price to be so high? I, of course, am aware of how corrupt the healthcare system is in the US, but, to what extent, not so much. The medical jargon used in the hospital bill, along with…

Preimplantation genetic testing is a genetic technique in which cells are removed from embryos to examine chromosomal abnormalities in vitro fertilization before a woman gives birth (King).
