Vitamin C linked to improved outcomes in people with precancerous blood disorders
Vitamin C boosts the activity of cellular proteins called TET enzymes that help control which genes are turned on or off.
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.
