It&#8217;s all down to one pesky neuropeptide, apparently. We have spent the day sticking needles into a little voodoo model of the shitty protein in question, which we made out of straw and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cancer begins when a single cell&#8217;s DNA acquires sufficient mutations in key areas (or &#8216;genes&#8216;) that it can no longer regulate its own growth. The cell begins to divide and divide repeatedly, being unable to either sense or act upon the signals coming from nearby cells telling it to &#8220;be a good neighbor and quit [...]]]></description>
