		RPR Gencell (a French pharmaceutical company) conducted experiments injecting retroviruses into
		gene that suppresses tumours — directly in to the cancerous tissue, the tumours stopped growing and were broken down by the body.
		Adenoviruses are larger, DNA-based viruses, which can carry more genes.

		Some have dubbed this syndrome "Chornobyl AIDS." Besides having increased rates of leukemia and malignant tumors, people with this syndrome are susceptible to more severe forms of cardiac conditions as wefl as common infections such as bronchitis, tonsillitis and pneumonia.
		RADIATION-induced conditions and tumours other than thyroid cancer have increased significantly in the former Soviet republic of Belarus since the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear plant in 1986, say local researchers.
		Many experts claim that the only significant health effect of the explosion was to increase by a factor of 200 the number of people contracting thyroid cancer.

		Exceptions to this rule are cartilage and corneal tissue as these areas have poor blood supplies and therefore the immune cells do not often travel via the blood system to these areas.
		To prevent rejection of the transplant, it is necessary to interfere with the body's immune system - medication has to be taken that suppresses the immune system making it weaker and therefore any reaction is unlikely to damage or destroy the transplant.
		White blood cells quickly surround the transplant and release chemical agents which are intended to suppress, subdue and destroy the foreign transplant.

		In addition, curcumin was found to suppress cancer cell proliferation and to induce cell cycle arrest and apoptosis (cell suicide) in the lung cancer cells.
		Early phase I clinical trials at the University of Texas are now also looking into curcumin's chemopreventive and therapeutic properties against multiple myeloma and pancreatic cancer, and other research groups are investigating curcumin's ability to prevent oral cancer.
		Curcumin (diferuloylmethane) inhibits constitutive NF-kappaB activation, induces G1/S arrest, suppresses proliferation, and induces apoptosis in mantle cell lymphoma.

		The result is a beautiful breed but one which may be susceptible to a high rate of blindness, tumours or hip problems for example.
		Ther are many inherited disorders in humans that can arise in a similar way.
