After injections of Vitamin C, plasma concentrations greatly increased, but tumor growth only slowed in #immunocompetent mice. This means that Vitamin C's #anticancer capability is reliant on its regulatory effect on the #immunesystem and not only on its pro-oxidant effects.

High-dose vitamin C enhances cancer immunotherapy (https://t.co/ubBs0wtUdA). There is a need to increase the number of patients that can benefit from #cancer immunotherapy. #VitaminC can have anticancer effects and be used to enhance immune responses. @ScienceTM#CUinTheLab
Breast, colorectal, melanoma, and pancreatic cancer models were studied in immunocompromised and immunocompetent #mice. Mice injected with tumor cells in the two groups received either a control or a high dose of Vitamin C. Plasma concentration and #tumor growth were measured.
Very well written paper and knowledge of jargon is not necessary to fully understand the study. Impeccable organization that presents the study well. 10/10 would recommend to everyone, especially #StreamLovers! #CUinTheLab
Invertebrate response to impacts of water diversion and flow regulation in highโaltitude tropical streams: Over the course of 2 years, @Daniela79Rosero examined how #flow_alteration affects stream ecosystem integrity in 4 high altitude streams in Ecuador.
The paper hypothesized that flow alterations of streams have accruing effects on the #ecological hierarchy. The claim is supported! Flow alterations created a loss in the seasonal behavior of altered streams, leading to a decrease in the ecological integrity and biodiversity.
