(cancerous) abigailgriego https://padlet.com/abigailgriego/612jpxo2tmm53ya8/wish/791393537 In general, cancer usually starts whenever a cell has cancerous DNA, and jumpstarts a abnormal growth (tumor).
You know that DNA makes who you are, but it also applies to how cells grow and divide. These DNA strands can be mutated in order to make the cell cancerous.
Many people have recently stated that most ovarian cancers actually start in the fallopian tube and not the ovary, which led way to new discovery. ]]> 2020-09-30 14:15:05 UTC https://padlet.com/abigailgriego/612jpxo2tmm53ya8/wish/791393537 All the New Clues abigailgriego https://padlet.com/abigailgriego/612jpxo2tmm53ya8/wish/803003084 It would be hard to explain without confusing people, but a Veterinarian school found new genes.

However, more is yet to come. ]]> 2020-10-05 13:42:12 UTC https://padlet.com/abigailgriego/612jpxo2tmm53ya8/wish/803003084 Citations: abigailgriego https://padlet.com/abigailgriego/612jpxo2tmm53ya8/wish/803017050
