Groundbreaking UNC research melds scientific lab work with real-world clinic to reveal benefits of exercise for cancer patients
Sitting in a small, instrument-packed lab in Ross Hall is a squat, benign-looking gray tank that contains liquid nitrogen. It also contains a spectrum of cancer cells 来自不同的线路. But this is one instance where cancer cells are helping make cancer 患者生活更美好. These cells are used in animal research that helps doctors underst和 exercise’s effect on cancer patients during 和 after chemotherapy treatment.
