Folate, a water-soluble vitamin, includes naturally occurring food folate and synthetic folic acid in supplements and fortified foods. Mammalian cells cannot synthesize folate and its deficiency has been implicated in a wide variety of disorders. A number of reviews have dwelt up on the health benefits associated with increased folate intakes and many countries possess mandatory folate enrichment programs. Lately, a number of studies have shown that high intakes of folic acid, the chemically synthesized form, but not natural folates, can cause adverse effects in some individuals such as the masking of the hematological man...

1940's drug targets bowel cancer geneEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The drug methotrexate, first used in the 1940's, has been found to destroy the damaged MSH2 gene prevelant in people with the genetic condition HNPCC. HNPCC contributes to bowel cancer, tumors of the stomach, womb, ovaries and kidneys. MSH2 usually plays an essential role in repairing DNA damage. When the gene is damaged, mistakes in the genetic code of cells increase the risk of cancer. Methotrexate selectively destroys cells lacking the MSH2 function, providing a targeted therapy for patients with bowel cancer caused by MSH2 mutation. The research, funded by Cancer Research UK, is welcomed by independent experts. Profess...
