Former Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder (Genesee County Sheriff s Office via AP)
FLINT, MI Attorneys representing former Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder in a criminal case regarding his involvement in the Flint Water Crisis said the former governor was charged in the wrong county, The Associated Press reported Tuesday.
Snyder, 62, last week was charged with two misdemeanor counts of willful neglect of duty in Genessee County. An attorney representing Snyder said he should be charged in Ingham County, where the state capitol and offices Snyder worked are in. Neither of these allegations of non-feasance, or failure to act, occurred while the former Governor was in the City of Flint. At all times set forth in the Indictment, our client was the presiding governor of the State of Michigan with the Executive Office of the Governor located at the Romney Building in downtown Lansing, attorney Brian Lennon said in a letter to prosecutors, according to The Associated Press.
Study suggests ovarian cancer cells adapt to their surroundings to aid tumour growth ANI | Updated: Jan 17, 2021 14:25 IST
Washington [US], January 17 (ANI): Researchers have shared a detailed description of how ovarian cancer cells adapt to survive and proliferate in the peritoneal cavity, in a recent study published in Frontiers in Oncology.
Researchers show that structures inside the cells change as the disease progresses from benign to malignant, helping the cells to grow in an otherwise hostile environment of low nutrients and oxygen.
Understanding how these cellular adaptations are regulated could herald new targeted treatment options against the fifth-leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women.
