Mice generally do not live that very long anyway. Its a special breed of mice. The mice I use are around 6-8 wks old. I inject the mouse cancer cell into these young ones and they generally live for another 4 weeks or so before they suffer from hind limb paralysis.<br /><br />Things are looking promising. There's still a lot of work to do. We have results showing the drug is slowing the disease progression. We're working on the bone side right now.<br /><br />Cervical jabs ar? I took it coz its free. The results has shown to be effective ie lower numbers of cervical cancer. <br /><br />If both of you have not and are not sleeping around, I don't really think you need it. Even though you've taken the jab, you still have to go for pap smear tests. The jab is a prevention only.Zhen Yinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15805408570866438985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32353272.post-11341632817876255562011-09-26T16:49:55.483+08:002011-09-26T16:49:55.483+08:00ATTN: Zhen Ying

Everyone will be healthy and dying naturally without any health issues.<br /><br />For my study, I'm using a strain of mice that naturally develop this disease naturally as they age. So what we did is, inject that mouse cancer cell into younger mice and let it develop then we treat them to see whether the drugs we have can slow the disease progression. <br /><br />We'll kill them at the end to scan the bones to compare the number of pits on the bone between the treated and untreated mice.

The worse part is that this cancer is incurable so patients will forever be on therapy to keep the cancer cells under control. I'm trying to find new treatment to kill the cells and also restore bone growth. These cancer cells not only invade the bone marrow space but they also start chewing the bone. Hence patients also have brittle, punched-hole like spaces along their bones.Zhen Yinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15805408570866438985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32353272.post-61780702803381850832011-09-16T21:21:37.087+08:002011-09-16T21:21:37.087+08:00ATTN: Zhen Ying
