OverviewHere are the top medical news for today:Father's Diet Before Pregnancy May Influence Baby's Growth and Body Fat: StudyDad's diet before pregnancy may shape a baby's health-even before conception. One important gene, called IGF-II, is inherited only from the father and plays a key role in fetal growth. At suitable concentrations, the lignin material was biocompatible and even stimulated the growth of pre-osteoblasts, the cells responsible for building new bone. The research, published in Nature, suggests that inherited genetic differences shape not only the risk of developing cancer but also how cancers evolve after DNA damage occurs. Although the study was conducted in mice, the results suggest that inherited genetic differences could play an important role in determining individual cancer risk in humans.
