A study by IDIBELL and the University of Amsterdam published in the journal Cell Death and Disease shows that TRAIL protein receptors induce the expression of IL-8, a protein that promotes tumor development and angiogenesis in lung tumors.
A team from IDIBELL and the Catalan Institute of Oncology has published the results of a survey that shows that anti-vaccine groups, flat earthers or defenders of the existence of reptilians recognize less the actual cancer causes, and therefore, identify false myths as carcinogens.
