A research team at Lund University in Sweden has discovered a certain type of cells – foam cells – in patients with the aggressive brain tumour glioblastoma. It has been shown how these cells accelerate the cancer’s growth and that this can be successfully inhibited using a drug developed for arteriosclerosis.

Vid en vanlig toalettspolning går det åt ungefär fem liter vatten. Vattnet som används är samma v
