estrogen receptors are not created equally.  ER-alpha is the predominant pro-stimulatory signal receptor, whereas the ER-beta is the inhibitory receptor signaling pathway.  SERMS are not created equally as well dependent on how they bind the respective ER receptors.

How chemotherapy takes place? Depending on type of cancer and period of cancer, it stops cancer cells ability of damage and more to divide. Oftenly drugs are used and different for different person. This is systematic therapy also affect your entire body.

very interesting read on the effects of inflammation on cortisol and visa versa.

ferritin released enhanced pharmacologic ascorbate induced-cytotoxicity, indicating that ferritin with high iron-saturation could be a source of catalytic iron. Consistent with this, ascorbate has also been shown to be capable of releasing iron from cellular ferritin

Anthocyanins decrease LPS stimulated NO production in a dose dependent manner.

Curcumin is a potent inhibitor of LPS induced inflammation in cell line. Particularily, PGE2, IL-6, and TNF-alpha were inhibited in a dose dependent manner form 5microM to 30 microM.

The future of cancer therapy is cancer stem cells.  Study finds that Vitamin C, silymarin, and bee propolis blocks mitochondrial energy pathways in cancer stem cells.  Vitamin C is a known glycolytic inhbitor. Vitamin C was found to inhibit glycolysis via GAPDH targeting to inhibit the energy pathways of the mitochondria in CSCs.  The authors propse that Vitamin C can be used as add on therapies for conventional therapies to specifically attack the CSCs and their contribution to recrurence, treatment resistance, and metastasis potential all in addition to the ability of vitamin C to reduce the side effects of chemotherapy.
