Research published in API Bioengineering used computer models to see exactly how cells move. The findings show that healthy cells separate from the breast when they become cancerous. The scientists hope this research will lay the groundwork for a potential cure.

Gummy vitamins fill the aisles at grocery stores, but they can create a sticky situation for your teeth.
