The assumption that scale weight loss is synonymous with fat loss, however, is not al-ways true [26,27]. Scale[r]

However, the majority DNA damage reagents are not specific and can cause the similar extent of damage in both BRCA1 mutant and wild type cells. More recently it was shown that PARP-1 inhibitors[r]
