No consistent associations were found for bisphenols, and effects were generally small. | | | | |  Alzheimer’s protein found to drive lung cancer spread to the brain Researchers at McMaster University, Cleveland Clinic and Case Comprehensive Cancer Center have uncovered how a protein long associated with Alzheimer's disease helps lung cancer spread to the brain – a discovery that offers hope that existing Alzheimer's drugs could be repurposed in preventing cancer's spread. | |
