Re: Hypoxia-Inducible Factor (HIF)

What's an ER+ gal like yourself doing with that coffee in yer mug? You know what I'm talking about.

But yeah..Rodney King might have been on to something. I spoke at length once with a researcher who claimed cancer changes its behavior from single file growth to a more nomadic path depending on the environment/nutrients available. Maybe if we could figure out how to keep it just happy enough to merely grow exceedingly slow in a controlled fashion, might be far less threatening. There is the phenomena of "autophagy" under the right circumstances where the cancer literally eats itself into oblivion. Inducing that seems like a very cathartic approach. Kind of redefines "all you can eat".
