I have a friend who sent me the link to this article on myyearbook.com. I thought it was really amazing, I raise money every day on myyearbook to go toward cancer research. It runs strong in my family and I am very supportive of the cause. Here is a excerpt from the article itself and I will leave a link to it at the bottom.
WEDNESDAY, Dec. 31 (HealthDay News) -- More than three-quarters of laboratory leukemia cells exposed to an extract from grape seeds died within 24 hours, effectively killing themselves while leaving other cells unharmed, a new study shows.
University of Kentucky researchers say they found that the extract activates JNK, a protein that regulates the cell-signaling pathway the leads to cell death, or apoptosis.
