Nov 26, 2008 - Vitamins are widely acknowledged to be beneficial to our well-being. Vitamin C, for example, has long been credited with strengthening immune systems, and staving off diseases like Scurvy. Vitamin D also has benefits in the area of cancer as well, according to a recent report in the Nov 17 Journal of Cell Biology.
The report is a result of a study on Vitamin D's effect on colon cancer cells, and results show that Vitamin D disrupts colon cancer cell actions by preventing from dividing, and prompting them to differentiate into epithelial cells that do not spread.
The study is the first to show that vitamin D's genomic and nongenomic effects integrate to regulate cell physiology.
