Blood Cell Production Boosted with Nicotinamide Riboside Blood Cell Production Boosted with Nicotinamide Riboside The study shows, for the first time, that nicotinamide riboside as a dietary supplement can have a significant positive effect on preventing blood-recovery problems in cancer patients, even after chemo- or radio-therapy. The NAD-Booster Nicotinamide Riboside Potently Stimulates Hematopoiesis through Increased…
Vitamin C may be a powerful therapy for Stress induced cancers Vitamin C may be a powerful therapy for Stress induced cancers Scientists have suspected Vitamin C’s cancer-fighting potential for decades, and several clinical trials have demonstrated positive results. This study contributes a new understanding of the vitamin’s action in biochemical pathways relevant to chronically…

(September 6, 2012) – Using a stepwise trans-differentiation process, Whitehead Institute researchers have turned skin cells into embryonic Sertoli-like cells. The main role of mature Sertoli cells is to provide support and nutrition to the developing sperm cells. Furthermore, Sertoli cells have been…
