  • Research Matters: How Folate Deficiency May Alter Genes to Promote Cancer
    December 17, 2025

    Dr. John Blenis's lab discovered that low levels of folate, a B vitamin essential for cell growth, can trigger specific genetic changes found in lung tumors, establishing a link between nutrition and cancer, which may open new dietary approaches for prevention and treatment.
