Massachusetts

Researcher:

Christos Mantzoros

Dr. Mantzoros recently found that walnut consumption decreased the growth of colon cancer in mice. By looking at how habitual walnut consumption effects microRNA, small molecules that regulate gene expression, his new study will help us gain a more advanced understanding of these underlying mechanisms.
