[BC3] [UD] meer info over het onderzoek

Even een stukje uit een review met een beetje extra info waarom we naar chemicalien zoeken die interactie hebben met superoxide dismutase

Oxygen free radicals have been implicated in many disease processes, including aging and carcinogenesis, and have been associated with a variety of complications resulting from the treatment of cancer. As a result, the treatment of free radical-induced disease with antioxidants or free radical scavengers has become an important therapeutic modality. Ironically, these same oxygen free radicals also play a critical role in anti-cancer therapies. The use of antioxidants such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), in this setting, has been found to decrease the efficacy of
anti-tumor therapies, which depend on free radical generation for their action. In addition, increased antioxidant activity can often be utilized by the tumor cell to favor increased growth. Therefore, the appropriate application of oxygen free radicals and antioxidants seems to be critically important in designing proper strategies for both prevention and treatment of malignant disorders.

In simpel nederlands komt het er dus op neer dat superoxide_dismutase als antioxydant interfereert met medicijnen tegen kanker. In die context is het dus logisch dat UD zoekt naar een stofje wat gedurende de behandeling Su_Di effetjes koest houdt
