To Revert Breast Cancer Cells, Squeeze
While the traditional view of cancer development focuses on the genetic mutations within the cell, Mina Bissell, Distinguished Scientist at the Berkeley Lab, conducted pioneering experiments that showed that a malignant cell is not doomed to become a tumor, but that its fate is dependent on its interaction with the surrounding microenvironment.

FDA Warns Against Combining Alcohol, Other CNS Depressants With Xyrem – AAFP News
According to the Dec. 17 statement, the FDA recently evaluated reports of patients who died while taking Xyrem — which is used to reduce instances of cataplexy and to manage other symptoms of narcolepsy — along with alcohol or other central nervous system (CNS) depressants.
