AI Summary

Vitamin C increases the activity of TET enzymes, proteins that regulate gene expression. Reduced TET function is a common driver of certain blood cancers. Researchers therefore examined the impact of vitamin C supplements on patients at risk for these malignancies. The study focused on individuals with precancerous blood disorders to assess whether boosting TET activity could improve outcomes. Results suggest that vitamin C supplementation may help counteract the genetic changes that lead to blood cancer.
