Anti-cancer drugs may hold promise for premature aging disorder
In a surprising development, a research team led by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has found that a class of experimental anti-cancer drugs also shows promise in laboratory studies for treating a fatal genetic disorder that causes premature aging. view more (2005-08-31)
Study produces conflicting findings on the use of anti-anemia drug in cancer patients
