Blood Stem Cells Permanently Damaged by Alcohol
Bone marrow stem cells are extremely sensitive to the primary by-product of alcohol, which causes permanent damage to their DNA claims researchers from the Medical Research Council (MRC) Lab of Molecular Biology. The research, which was conducted on mice, uncovers two mechanisms that normally control this type of damage; a protein group that recognizes and…
