UC Davis Researchers: Key Discovery Involving Omega-3 Fatty Acids and Cancer

DAVIS–Researchers at the University of California, Davis have discovered a key mechanism by which dietary omega-3 fatty acids (fish oils) could reduce the tumor growth and spread of cancer, a disease that kills some 580,000 Americans a year. In groundbreaking research, the team of 16 scientists led by Dr. Guodong Zhang of the Bruce Hammock laboratory,… Read more UC Davis Researchers: Key Discovery Involving Omega-3 Fatty Acids and Cancer
